Overall Goals:
At 22-27 months old, this is children’s first exposure to an early childhood educational experience. For many, this is the first time they are participating in a social setting with other children their age for extended periods of time. They will develop ways to communicate with others even if they are pre-verbal; they will learn how to be a part of a group, make friends and follow a gentle schedule.
Chabad Early Learning Center recognizes that every child has unique learning styles and play interests. With this in mind, we provide a differentiated curriculum that is adapted for each child. For example, if a child expresses an interest in art, we will provide the opportunities and encourage the child to draw, paint and print.
We follow an integrated curriculum, a seamless weave, combining thematic units with language, art, drama, music, math, science and Jewish holidays.
Independence skills and self-esteem are key factors in success at this stage. The activities presented lay the foundation for future learning.
Science, Dramatic Play and Creative Arts
Children have the opportunity to work individually and in a group to promote socialization.
- Recognizing the needs of others
- Singing, dancing and mimicking
- Participation in block building, creative arts and dramatic play with other children
Math and Manipulatives
Most concepts are learned as children go about their day engaged in developmentally appropriate play. As children begin a project, they are encouraged to provide closure as well, which instills the pre-math concept of completion. During clean up, children are able to sort and classify as they put away materials in their assigned areas. During water play and sand play, children are exposed to weights and measurements. As children build in the block area they are exposed to spatial relationships and gravity.
- Problem solving
- Matching and classifying
- Group objects in categories
- Basic introduction to size and weights
