Twos
At this stage, children are no longer babies or toddlers — they are becoming confident, capable little learners with opinions, independence, and big ideas. At Milestones, we don’t believe in the “Terrible Twos.” Instead, we proudly embrace the Terrific Twos.
Our Twos Program is designed to nurture growing independence while providing the structure and guidance children need to succeed. With supportive routines, clear expectations, and engaging activities, children build confidence in themselves and their abilities — with one major goal in mind: becoming fully potty trained.
Classroom Groups
There are three classrooms for this age group. Children are assigned to classrooms based on birth month, helping create balanced groups while supporting social and developmental growth.
A Partnership with Families
Each age group works toward a specific set of emotional, social, and academic milestones designed to prepare children for the next classroom and, ultimately, for kindergarten. These goals are not limited to the classroom setting.
We believe parents are a child’s first teacher, and we actively support the work you are doing at home. Progress is most successful when families and teachers work together as a team.

Daily art activities in the morning

Small group learning such as sensory play, blocks and building, dress-up, and puzzles.
As children work toward potty independence, bathroom breaks are offered approximately every two hours.

Story time is woven throughout the day, in the morning, at lunch, before nap, and again in the afternoon, helping build language skills and a love for books.
