In our studios catering to two-year-old children, we support the following core concepts:

​

• Rest and sleep times: As a service, we begin to develop rest and sleep rituals for our group of two-year-olds. If your child does not require a nap during the day, we offer an alternative, quiet-time learning experience.

• Mealtimes: Children are viewed as confident and capable during mealtime and are aware of their own needs. We know that they’ll eat as much or as little as their body needs.

• Independent toileting: Educators invite children to this experience with patience and trust to ensure toileting success. We create an unrushed and positive experience for your child while gaining toileting independence. Your child will be supported with the utmost respect and with special attention to their dignity during these moments.

• Creative experiences: We invite children to explore a selection of materials and resources, color palettes, utensils, and surfaces each day – all readily available and within easy access to express their thinking and understanding of the world.

• Exploratory times: Our twos are offered large blocks of uninterrupted time for play and inquiry each day. Children at Horizons Preschool can plan for play across all our spaces using various resources and materials with support from peers and educators.
