TWOS PROGRAM
Nurturing a love for discovery and learning
The Twos program at Georgetown Hill exposes and connects children to the larger world around them. Through interactive classroom experiences, children are introduced to literacy, math, science, and social studies in a playful environment with a predictable daily routine.
Health and Safety in the Twos Classroom
- Regular health screenings of children and teachers
- Daily sanitization of toys and other classroom materials
- Regular disinfection of high-touch surfaces
- 1:6 teacher-to-child ratio for individualized learning experiences and potty-training assistance
- CPR- and First Aid-certified staff
Our Twos’ Day
The typical Twos day includes:
- Engaging arrival/transition activities
- Healthy snacks (morning and afternoon)
- Circle Time (songs, stories, movement)
- Thematic learning center activities
- Outdoor play (morning and afternoon)
- Lunch
- Nap time
- Self-selected activities
Home-School Connections
In addition to sharing information at pick-up and drop-off times, GHES teachers communicate with families through Procare Engage, a digital communication app. iPads in each classroom allow Twos teachers to send daily reports on:
- Meals
- Diaper changes and potty use
- Nap times
- Classroom activities (photos and videos)
- Special events
Families can also use Engage to update teachers on developmental changes and any special needs for the day.
Assessments of children’s progress towards developmental goals are done three times each year. Parents/family members are invited and encouraged to attend conferences with the teachers at least twice each year to set goals for each child and discuss growth and development over the course of the program year.
We also welcome all our families to become involved in their campus community through classroom visits, volunteering, and special family events.
