Physical Development:

To meet your child’s physical development, Tiny Turtles Preschool provides many opportunities for both gross-motor (large muscle) and fine-motor (small-muscle) skills.  Motor development progresses predictably, from simple to complex, in a head-to-toe direction.  Children gain control of their bodies in a predictable sequence as well, from the center of their bodies and outward to their fingers and toes.   Similarly, fine-motor skills progress from the child’s grabbing an object with a whole hand to controlling the fine hand muscles.  Your child will have many opportunities daily to practice their gross-motor skills, such as pulling, climbing, running, kicking, throwing and jumping and their fine-motor skills, such as cutting, drawing, writing, painting, bead stringing, etc.

Physical Milestones:

Our two-year-old child care goals and milestones we hope to help your child accomplish include (but are not limited to):

  • Experiments with different ways of moving.
  • Experiments with different ways of balancing.
  • Manipulates objects with stiff body movements(throwing, catching, kicking).
  • Uses fingers and whole-arm movements to manipulate and explore objects.
  • Grip drawing and writing tools with the whole-arm movements to make simple marks.

Language Development:

To meet your child’s language development, Tiny Turtles Preschool provides many opportunities throughout the day that will support the growth and development of his/her language skills. Your child’s teacher is very important in helping your child develop a strong foundation in language.  Your child will be able to participate in activities such as socio-dramatic play, engage in conversations with teachers, and listen to stories read aloud.  This also supports the development of new concepts and vocabulary to understand increasingly complex language.  The development and use of language is also important to your child’s literacy development.

Language Milestones:

The language goal milestones our day care team hopes to help your child accomplish include (but are not limited to):

  • Enjoy being read to and can listen attentively.
  • Use short sentences to ask and answer questions, express thoughts, and needs.
  • Follow two-step directions.
  • Recognize a favorite book by its cover.
  • Repeat simple rhymes and songs.
  • Scribble on paper and verbalize what was drawn.

Intellectual Development:

To meet your child’s intellectual development, Tiny Turtles Preschool and Child Care Center will provide activities that support the growth and development of how your child approaches learning.  Play is important at this age of development, and children require high-quality dramatic play opportunities.  The benefits of play at this age include self-regulation, memory development, divergent thinking, problem solving, and language development.

Social/Emotional Development:

To meet your child’s social/emotional development, Tiny Turtles Preschool will provide activities that support the development of learning so that children learn how to understand their own and other’s feelings, regulate and express their emotions, build relationships with others and interact in groups.  We will ensure that your child has a close, supportive, and trusting relationship with his/her teacher.  Your child’s classroom environment is set up so that your child has an opportunity to participate actively in daily routines and experiences and know that their teacher considers him/her to be important, interesting, and competent.

Emotional Milestones:

Our goal milestones we hope to help your child accomplish related to emotions include (but are not limited to):

  • Regulate emotions and behaviors.
  • Follows limits and expectations.
  • Establish and sustain positive relationships with adults and peers.

  • Participate cooperatively and constructively in group situations.

Each child reaches his/her milestones at an individual pace.  Our responsibility is to encourage your child and provide a loving, rich, and safe environment.  We conduct parent/teacher conferences throughout the school year to provide helpful information and answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding your child and his/her development.

Two’s Preschool And Child Care Curriculum

What to Expect from Tiny Turtles Preschool:

2 to 3 Years of Age

Many changes happen to your child during this year of life. A 2 to 3 year old is much better at reading signals of other children and adults. They demonstrate their unique ability to interpret symbols through their dramatic play and their expanding vocabulary.

At Tiny Turtles Preschool of Jupiter, your child will work out simple dramatic play themes like dressing up to go to a party or pretending a block is a telephone. We understand that promotion of language skills at this age is very important. An integral part of our child care curriculum is reading to your child often, asking many questions throughout the day, and encouraging your child to sing and engage in communication activities all while promoting the development of language skills. Pre School – before school – is an important time in your child’s life to gain the appropriate foundation for the school years ahead.

Tiny Turtles Preschool of Jupiter’s goal is to provide an enriching early childhood educational experience with a well-balanced, unique curriculum dedicated to the development of infants and young children. Our Creative Curriculum is based upon the natural ways in which children learn along with a print-rich environment for future school readiness. Our state-of-the-art program offers thematic units involving computer labs, reading, writing, arts & crafts, math, science, music, physical education, library, dramatic play and age appropriate separate playgrounds.
