Separation Classes for 2s

Sample Day

• Arrival – Children put away their belongings and begin their day with familiar routines that foster independence, confidence, and a sense of belonging as they join their classmates.
• Morning meeting – Children gather together for a welcoming group experience that supports language development, social awareness, and classroom connection. They sing the welcome song, review the day’s schedule, and notice who is present each day.
• Free play – Children explore a variety of materials and play experiences, engaging in both open-ended and guided activities. Through play, children develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and independence while learning in ways that are meaningful to them.
• Clean up – Children work together to care for their classroom environment, building responsibility, teamwork, and pride in their shared space.
• Snack – Snack provides an opportunity for children to practice independence, explore new foods, engage in conversation, and strengthen friendships.
• Outdoor Play – Children enjoy opportunities for movement, exploration, and imaginative play in our outdoor, covered playground throughout the year.
• Storytime – Children gather together to enjoy both beloved classics and new stories that inspire imagination, language development, and connection.
• Group Activity – Experiences are thoughtfully designed to reflect the interests and developmental needs of the group through art, music, cooking, sensory exploration, and science.
• Goodbye Birdie Song – Each day closes with familiar rituals that help children transition home, including singing our special goodbye song and celebrating the day together.
