In our twos class, we focus on using play as a way of learning. We work on gross motor skills, listening, and following directions. Repetition is a way we learn by keeping the structure of the class similar each week. Not only are we learning big movement but we also learn how to interact with other children, as well as, independence. We use many props to learn and grow our dance and motor skills.
