​Talented Two's
The majority of two year-olds have abundant amounts of energy and an innate curiosity about their surroundings. They quickly begin to develop their sense of independence. At EnrichKids we embrace this and offer opportunities for them to explore their growing individuality

Sensory Development |
​​
​
We have effectively designed classrooms that are organized and familiar. Each classroom encourages learning in a high-quality environment. Play spaces are organized by interest areas and sections are separated to allot for both quiet and active play. Children have the option of playing alone or in small groups. They are encouraged by teachers to use their senses to explore every center in their classrooms. Teachers work on building a trusting relationship that supports your toddler by respecting each other's differences, cultures, backgrounds, and opinions. They also focus on five major areas of growth:
