Preschool (2 years-3 years)

Currently Shoreline has two 2-year old classrooms. We provide for your younger two’s who just transitioned into our Preschool Program and for the older 2-year old who is ready to negotiate the world around them. We have established a balanced program that will promote the academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development for each child. Our Shoreline 2-year old program is created to equip your child with skills such as language/literacy development, creative expression, and self-help. Some of the class focus areas are:

• Encouraging children to speak in phrases or 3-word sentences
• Listening in a group setting
• Following 1 to 3 step directions
• Fostering self-expression through arts and crafts, music and dramatic play
• Mastering self-help skills such as hand washing, simple dressing, using utensils competently, cleaning their own space, and self-serving
