Philosophy: Gods Design for
the Development of Two-Year-Olds

God designed each child so uniquely that no child fits squarely in the middle of any set of characteristics during any age or stage. Each child develops at their own pace; the WEE Learn Curriculum compliments this philosophy. We will not expect your children to learn to the alphabet, number concepts, shapes, and colors while sitting regimented at a table; however, each of these concepts will be presented daily utilizing an age appropriate integrated approach. The whole language approach is something you can continue to build upon at home. The purpose of the WEE Learn Curriculum is to provide a framework on which teachers can build an early childhood program that allows and encourages children to develop separately, across five domains.

Meeting Two-Year-Olds Physical Needs:
The two-year-old still needs more “unstructure” than structure, more movement than quiet, more doing than listening, and an environment that provides for exploration and choices. Gentle guidance toward potty training will enable twos to do what comes naturally when their neuromuscular systems are ready. We will also provide an assortment of locks, buckles, snaps, and zippers to help strengthen the small muscles in your two-year-olds fingers and hands.

Meeting Two-Year-Olds Mental Needs:
We will attempt to capture your two-year-olds inquisitive attention with creative art materials, blocks, books, puzzles, and musical and manipulative toys. We will also answer their many questions simply and clearly, enunciating and using proper grammar as examples.

Meeting Two-Year-Olds Emotional & Social Needs:
Our twos will be told more of what they CAN do rather than what they cannot do. We will attempt to ignore negativism, while praising accomplishments. Twos love attention, and in our classroom we will create a nurturing and loving environment that will enable the children to feel safe and secure. At this age twos are ready for simplified learning centers. The activities and social togetherness in the centers, planned by our teachers, help keep twos emotionally and socially content.

Meeting Two-Year-Olds Spiritual Needs:
Our teachers will encourage spiritual development of your child by placing a Bible and Bible-related books where they can handle them. They will also sing and tell short Bible stories. Throughout the day prayer will be emphasized.It is our desire that we offer a program that has age-appropriate learning centers which allows children to be children in an enriched environment where concepts of God, Jesus, the Bible, church, self, family, and the natural world and others are taught.
