For our youngest learners, the TACK method is adopted to emphasize sensory exploration and play-based learning. This approach promotes cognitive, social-emotional, motor, and language development through engaging and foundational activities, ensuring that learning is a joyful discovery.

Developmental Stage (PK0)

At two years old, children are in a stage of rapid growth and discovery, using their senses and budding language skills to explore the world around them. This stage is characterized by a strong desire for independence coupled with a deep need for security. Our program is designed to nurture their growing sense of curiosity while providing the emotional support they need to feel safe and confident in their explorations.

Key Developmental Areas:

Cognitive Development:

  • Exploration through Senses: Children use their senses to understand their environment.
  • Essential Concept Awareness: Recognition of shapes, sizes, and colors.
  • Object Permanence: Understanding that objects continue to exist even when out of sight.

Socioemotional Development:

  • Self-identity and Independence: Assert independence and recognize themselves.
  • Parallel Play: Play alongside peers.
  • Emotional Expression: Express happiness, frustration, and excitement.

Motor Skills

  • Gross Motor Development: Improved coordination with running, jumping, and climbing.
  • Fine Motor Development: Hand-eye coordination and manipulating small objects.

Language Development

  • Expanding Vocabulary: Form simple sentences.
  • Naming and Identifying Objects: Identify familiar objects and people.

Artistic and Creative Expression

  • Creative Play and Expression: Use props and materials for symbolic play.
  • Exploration over Results: Focus on the process of creation.

Project-Based Learning

  • Curiosity and Exploration: Discovery through hands-on learning activities.
  • Early Group Participation: Cooperative learning experiences with peers.

Methodology

Our approach for two-year-olds focuses on creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children are free to explore at their own pace. Through sensory play, guided exploration, and age-appropriate activities, we encourage them to develop essential cognitive, motor, social, and language skills.
