2 Year Old Care
Caterpillars
At this young age, children are gaining a realization of others around themselves, but will continue to prefer to play along side peers, instead of with them. They will be striving for independence in many tasks, but will still need help in accomplishing many of them. Children at this age are interested in learning about everything around them. They are curious and may seem to be always getting into mischief. With a vocabulary of 200-330 words and growing, it is important to expose them to new words, books, and songs.
