A child can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer. ~Author Unknown

The Explorers Program encourages your two-year old to exert their new-found independence in a fun and active learning environment.  

Stepping Stones Preschool Academies, believe in focusing on the needs of the “whole child” in every program that we offer.  The Explorer Program is designed to promote discovery and to give each child the very best start to a life-long love of learning. We implement appropriate practices through professional excellence, all in a caring environment.

As the world opens up for exploration, we appreciate and value our role in these learning moments with each child and the partnership that is formed with the parents.  Our teachers focus on each child and provide them with a consistent structured schedule that includes learning through class time, playtime, social interaction, and rest time throughout the school day.

Our certified teachers participate in continuing education courses that enhance and equip their understanding of the growth and guidance that a two-year old requires.  At this age your two-year-old will begin to develop:

• An understanding of values including honesty, compassion, and giving.
• An understanding of language through conversation and books.
• An understanding of math through puzzle and block play.
• An understanding of the feelings that signal he/she needs to use the bathroom.
• An agility in outdoor play and group activities.
• An understanding of cooperation through social interaction with classmates.

The Stepping Stones curriculum is integrated into your child’s day utilizing the best trends in education that are based on brain research, all in a loving environment. Throughout the day, there is a balance of quiet and active periods. 

At Stepping Stones Preschool Academies, we understand that every two-year old likes to be independent.  Our nurturing teachers will guide your toddler in these critical developmental stages from the art of sharing to discovering answers to their favorite question, “Why?” Our teachers will guide and encourage with a gentle tone and unconditional love for every child. 

Our teachers provide the attention and guidance to assist children with potty training. We provide a daily schedule with the perfect balance of academics, playtime, social interaction, and rest time throughout the school day.

At Stepping Stones Preschools we are excited to guide your Explorer in their quest to learn!
