Time for Twos Program Content
Thank you for your interest in our Time for Twos program. Time for Twos is a school year program (September - June) that is part of the child care department here at West Richmond Community Association. We are dedicated to providing quality preschool programs to the residents of Richmond.
Time for Twos is a free-play based program that provides children the opportunity to develop their skills in all areas. We believe children learn through interacting with others and experimenting with different mediums. Our environment allows children to explore the world around them in a safe and predictable setting. As children all learn differently, we strive to work with each child as an individual while guiding them to work responsibly in a group setting. Children are encouraged to learn how to say goodbye to their caregivers, share and participate in all aspects of the program.
The class consists of 8 children with 2 teachers.
Our daily routine is both consistent and flexible. A typical day includes:
- Welcome circle
- Free play and art
- Group snack time
- Clean-up
- Circle time
- Gross motor time
- Goodbye song
Age Guidelines
Children entering Time for Twos must turn 2 years old by December 31 of the school year.
Family Participation
We recommend that you stay with your toddler until your child is ready to say goodbye with minimal stress. Our staff is here to help ease this transition and support you and your child through this new experience. It is important for your child to feel secure while getting to know the teachers and the new environment. Once your child is feeling confident, you are welcome to leave and return for pickup.
Please note: Time for Twos participants have early registration priority into our West Richmond Preschool 3 & 4 year old programs.
