Building Early Foundations
For Lifelong Learning
We support older 2-year-olds in becoming more independent by providing a nurturing environment with structure and encouragement to develop essential skills. Expert teachers prepare your child for a successful transition to kindergarten and beyond, empowering them to become a confident, curious, and capable learner.
We Achieve The “Look At Me, I Can Do It By Myself” Mentality Through:
Fine Motor Skill Development
Engaging activities, such as art, puzzles, & manipulatives, encourage dexterity, hand-eye coordination, & problem-solving abilities.
Gross Motor Skill Development
Play-based exercises like obstacle courses, balance beams, & ball games promote physical coordination, spatial awareness, & overall motor skills.
Practical Life Skills
Lessons in dressing, grooming, & cleaning up help children develop essential self-care routines & build confidence in their ability to perform daily tasks independently.
Emotional Intelligence & Social Skills
Our curriculum emphasizes empathy, cooperation, & conflict resolution, preparing children for future social interactions & fostering a sense of community.
Praise & Patience
Consistent positive reinforcement encourages children to take risks, build resilience, & develop a growth mindset.
Social-Emotional & Language
Skills Through Guided Play
Our program encourages positive relationships and emotional intelligence among 2-year-olds through intentional role-modeling and guided play experiences. By demonstrating the value of effective communication, compassionate educators help your child develop essential social-emotional skills, including active listening, empathy, and conflict resolution.
Enhanced Early Literacy
& Numeracy Development
Teachers continue adapting their instructional approaches to meet the evolving needs of your 2-year-old. As your little one’s attention span increases, caregivers focus on making learning numbers, letters, and shapes an engaging and interactive experience.
Educators use various strategies to foster early literacy skills, including:
Explicit instruction on letter recognition through intentional pointing & highlighting of letters in the environment
Using large, interactive picture books & anchor posters to facilitate visual learning
Repeated exposure to reading strategies during storytime to reinforce understanding
Hands-on activities & sensory experiences, such as exploring objects in sand, stamping on paper, & sorting magnets
Various art projects that promote fine motor skills & creativity
Prewriting strategies to aid the retention & development of fine motor skills, such as finger-tracing activities that highlight the unique features of each letter, number, & shape
Painting & other artistic endeavors that encourage exploration & discovery
Goodbye Pull-Ups,
Hello Preschool Undies
Our program supports the transitional phase from daycare to preschool, focusing on potty training mastery. Teachers form a collaborative team with children, parents, and the school to facilitate success. Consistent communication, patience, and positivity ease pressure, and seminars, storytime, songs, and rewards help achieve potty independence.

We started at PLA in September 2023 after months of trying to find a pre-k program that worked for our son and our family. We decided on PLA after doing a tour and seeing how happy the students and teachers were. They offer small class sizes and have a great well rounded curriculum. My son will be in a great spot entering kindergarten. This school offers a lot of fun activities and event for the students and families. The teachers are amazing and truly care about the students as a whole. My son has made lifelong friends and we will miss PLA so much!

I wish we could stay at PLA forever!

Our Daughter has been attending PLA for 2.5 years and will now be moving on to kindergarten. She has blossomed into such a confident little lady. Teachers and staff here have always loved on our little and made us and her feel safe and cared for. She has learned so much academically and will be entering into kinder with beginning reading and math skills, which as an educator myself.. is amazing. We love it here so much that our baby girl will be attending in the fall 🙂

PLA!!!!! My heart is so full of emotions! This is so so so amazing and such an amazing feeling as a parent to feel that much safer while my kids are there! The most amazing and safe environment for my children! I can’t recommend them highly enough! They care about every single child and not just the teachers, the directors are just as involved.
