Two’s Program

We offer two’s programs at all of our 5 locations:
Downtown San Jose, Evergreen San Jose (Bilingual), Fremont (Bilingual), Willow Glen San Jose, and Pleasant Hill

Our two’s program classrooms provide a safe and comfortable environment for your child to become familiar with order, patterns, and languages. During the years 2-3, children are eager to apply language skills and are eager to start doing things by themselves, thereby developing a sense of self-efficacy.

On top of the trust that is learned during infancy, we focus on encouraging autonomy and independence. Students will begin to work well alone, as well as with others. Our unique classroom and curriculum are designed to allow your child freedom to explore and test his/her limits. Our Montessori-trained teachers lead as role models and respect the child’s budding self-esteem.

The Classroom

During the 2’s and 3’s, children develop a sense of physical mastery over their environment and a sense of independence. The two’s room is set up for your child to comfortably explore new toys, structures, and patterns. The two’s years (ages 2-3) are characterized by earnest curiosity and a need to move and develop large motor coordination and strength. Our classroom environment provides enough space for two’s to exercise and improve their walking. We have low shelves equipped with Montessori jobs, such as materials for color sorting, size sorting, and zippers (for fine motor coordination). Our curriculum and classroom environment is set up to follow a different theme every month (ex: Multicultural, Autumn, etc).

We provide an emphasis on facilitating rather than directing learning, by considering the child’s level of knowledge and promoting the child’s intellectual health with uninterrupted focus time. Our classrooms are safe settings of exploration and discovery. We choose approachable and purposeful Montessori materials that are aimed at the development of fine motor skills, language development, and arts and crafts. All of our Montessori jobs are based on real-life, to help your child develop practical life skills and absorb the world around us. Some materials include knobbed cylinders, rainbow stacking rings, and realistic safari animals.

Language Development

The Montessori philosophy acknowledges that there is a huge expansion into language during this stage. Your child develops a capacity to create symbols, images, and concepts and becomes aware of himself/herself as a separate and independent person. Many parents report that their children learn big words easily and with pleasure - which results in more fun and positive interactions by being able to express their needs through words instead of through tantrums.

Our unique goal-based curriculum focuses on simple yet fundamental goals. One is for a child to have a mastery of phonics and letters. We practice phonics daily and provide 1 phonic worksheet per week.

Mastering Toilet Training

Done the Montessori way, mastering toilet training is a focus during our program. The bathrooms are set up to give the child as much independence as possible.
