Two & Three-Year-Olds: Where Curiosity Takes Flight

At Little Critters Learning Center, we know that the transition from toddlerhood to the preschool years is a time of incredible growth. Between the ages of two and three, children are no longer just observing the world—they are actively trying to master it. Our program in West Jordan is specifically designed to support this “age of independence” by providing a structured yet flexible environment where your child can explore, create, and build confidence.

The "Terrific Twos" & Thriving Threes

Many people talk about the “terrible twos,” but at Little Critters, we see them as the Terrific Twos. This is the prime age for language explosion and social discovery. Our play-based curriculum encourages two- and three-year-olds to learn through hands-on experiences that feel like play but actually build critical cognitive foundations.

Social & Emotional Milestones

At this age, children are learning the complex art of being a friend. Our experienced teachers guide them through:

  • Parallel & Cooperative Play: Moving from playing beside others to playing with them.
  • Emotional Regulation: Helping children identify their feelings and use their words to express needs.
  • Confidence Building: Encouraging children to take the lead in small tasks, fostering a sense of “I can do it!”
A Day in the Life of a Little Critter

Our daily rhythm for two and three-year-olds is designed to balance high-energy activity with focused learning and necessary rest.

  • Circle Time & Literacy: We introduce basic concepts like colors, shapes, and counting through songs, rhymes, and interactive storytelling.
  • Sensory & Creative Arts: Whether it’s squishing playdough, finger painting, or exploring water tables, we prioritize “messy play” that stimulates the senses and fine motor skills.
  • Outdoor Exploration: Our secure facility includes space for children to run, climb, and develop their large motor skills in the fresh Utah air.

Safety You Can See

We know that as your child becomes more mobile, safety becomes even more vital. Our West Jordan center is a “fortress of fun” that prioritizes your peace of mind:

  • Live Stream Cameras: You never have to wonder what your two-year-old is up to. Log in at any time to see their progress and play.
  • Secure Entry: Our biometric code-entry system ensures that only authorized family members can enter the main learning areas.
  • Nut-Free & Healthy: We serve delicious, homemade meals that are strictly nut-free, ensuring our “critters” are fueled by nutritious food they actually enjoy eating.

Two-Year-Olds: Building Independence

You won’t miss a single “first.” Through the Brightwheel app, our teachers send real-time updates and photos of your child’s daily adventures. Whether they’ve mastered a new puzzle or shared a toy for the first time, you’ll be the first to know.
