Early Preschool (2 years old)

Two year olds can get a bad rap with the generalization of the “Terrible 2s” phase. Here at Panache Enfants, we like to change this up a bit by referring to our 2s as the “Terrific 2s”!

​

Much of a 2 year old’s frustrations and subsequently popularized behavioral challenges can stem from the following:

​

  • Emerging language development – not yet having words to communicate or express

  • Assertion of growing independence

  • Natural tendency to begin pushing laid out boundaries

​

At Panache Enfants, our early preschool teachers recognize these challenges and embrace them in order to provide a program that is tailored to the developmental and social/emotional needs of these children.
