Starting at the age of 2

Welcome to an exhilarating stage in your child’s development! As your child reaches the age of two, they enter a period often known as the «terrific twos,» characterized by immense growth across various developmental domains. At Imagine Success Academy, we are excited to support your child through this transformative year with activities and guidance tailored to their developmental milestones. Here’s an overview of what to expect during this critical year and how we at ISA facilitate these developments.

Physical Development

By age two, children show enhanced motor skills. They become more confident in walking, start to run, and may even begin to kick a ball. Their hand-eye coordination improves, allowing them to engage in more complex activities such as building towers of blocks or scribbling with crayons.

At ISA:

Active Play: We provide various activities that encourage physical activity and coordination, such as obstacle courses, dancing, and simple sports that promote healthy physical development.
Fine Motor Skills: Through arts and crafts, threading beads, and play dough manipulation, we support the development of fine motor skills, crucial for writing and self-care skills in the future.

Cognitive Development

Two-year-olds are eager learners, with a growing ability to think more complexly and solve problems. They begin to understand basic concepts like shapes, colors, and sizes, and can follow two-step instructions.

At ISA:

Interactive Learning: We offer games and activities that challenge their thinking, such as sorting activities, simple puzzles, and basic counting games.
Exploratory Play: Our environment is set up to encourage curiosity and exploration, which are key to cognitive development at this age.

Social & Emotional Development

Two-year-olds begin to play alongside their peers, start showing empathy, and may seek adult approval. They also experience a range of emotions, which they are just starting to manage.

At ISA:

Social Skills: We encourage cooperative play and sharing, guiding children through the complexities of social interactions and friendships..
Emotional Support: Our staff are trained to help children express their emotions appropriately and build resilience, offering comfort and appropriate boundaries to navigate frustrations and conflicts.

Language Development

This year is typically a language explosion year, where your child’s vocabulary will rapidly expand. They will start forming sentences, asking questions, and can usually be understood by familiar adults.

At ISA:

Language Enrichment: Through storytelling, songs, and regular conversation, we foster an environment rich in verbal interactions to boost vocabulary and grammar skills.
Listening Skills: Group activities and story times enhance listening comprehension and attention, which are crucial for language development.

Independence & Self Care

As they strive for independence, two-year-olds show more interest in self-care tasks such as feeding themselves and attempting to dress.

At ISA:

Self-Care Routines: We support their desire for independence through supervised self-care activities, like washing hands, using utensils, and organizing their belongings.
Potty Training: For many children, this is the age to start potty training. Our staff works closely with parents to ensure a consistent approach that eases the transition out of diapers.

Health & Safety

Maintaining a safe and healthy environment for your child is a priority. We continue to implement strict health and safety protocols to ensure the well-being of all our children.

At ISA:

Safety Measures: Our facilities are designed to be safe for energetic two-year-olds, with secure play equipment and child-proofed areas.
Health Checks: Regular health checks and updates on immunizations are part of our routine care.
