Daily Learning

Designed for the Magic of Two’s

Twos are big personalities in small bodies. Our Frog Street Toddler curriculum channels that energy into meaningful development across every domain – every single day.

Language Explosion

From 2-word phrases to full sentences we support this leap with rich conversation, songs, and storytelling every single day.

Pretend & Imaginative Play

Symbolic play develops theory of mind and narrative language. Your toddler feeds dolls, builds “houses,” and acts out stories with purpose.

Emotional Vocabulary

We teach toddlers to name their feelings before they act on them. Identifying emotions at 2 builds social-emotional foundations for kindergarten.

Reading Comprehension

Sorting, matching, patterns, and counting lay the groundwork for mathematical thinking your child will use throughout elementary school.

Fine Motor Development

Scribbling, stacking, pouring, drawing every small-muscle activity builds the hand strength and precision needed for writing and self-care.

Science & Curiosity

Observing, experimenting, and asking “why?” we give your toddler’s natural curiosity a structured outlet through hands-on science exploration.

Social Skills & Cooperation

Moving from parallel play to cooperative play is a major milestone. We build sharing, turn-taking, and early conflict resolution skills daily.

Potty Training Readiness

We partner with families on potty training at each child’s pace – using consistency between home and school to build independence and confidence.

Language Development

The Language Explosion Happens Here

Between 24 and 36 months, a childs vocabulary can grow from 300 – 500 words Our classroom is designed to make every conversation count – teachers narrate, expand, and respond to every attempt your child makes to communicate.

We reinforce language development through daily storytelling, weekly Spanish enrichment woven into songs and colors, weekly Sign Language as a communication bridge, and emotional labeling in the moment – every time.

500+

Words by 36 months in a language-rich classroom

The average vocabulary of a child at 36 months who has spent their days in a language-rich, responsive classroom environment. Your toddler gets that environment every single day at Above & Beyond.

Narrative Language

Storytelling builds vocabulary, sequencing, and reading comprehension - skills that show up in kindergarten and beyond.

Spanish Enrichment

Bilingual exposure at this age accelerates phonemic awareness and cognitive flexibility - a lifelong advantage.

Sign Language Bridge

Reduces frustration while spoken language catches up - supporting emotional regulation and communication confidence.

Peer Interaction

Structured small-group time creates real-world communication practice - the kind that only happens with other toddlers.

Milestone Roadmap

What to Expect at Every Stage of the Two-Year

Every milestone matters and our teachers make sure families never miss one. Progress is communicated directly to parents so you always have a clear picture of where your child is growing and thriving.

No two toddlers develop at exactly the same pace and that’s completely normal.  Every child gets the individual attention they need to move forward at their own speed, with the right support at every step.

Our Curriculum

Powered by Frog Street The Gold Standard in Toddler Education

Frog Street Toddler — Certified Program

Most daycares use seasonal crafts and loose activity plans. Frog Street Toddler is a research-validated curriculum with a complete scope and sequence each week builds on the last, across language, math, science, social studies, and the arts.

Above & Beyond uses Frog Street from our infant room all the way through VPK a true educational continuum that means your child never starts over, and never falls behind.

Why Frog Street at Age 2?

Two is the most critical window for building the brain's language, emotional, and problem-solving architecture. Frog Street's structured-but-playful approach ensures that window doesn't close without being fully used.

Language Arts

Phonological awareness, storytelling, and early literacy woven into every themed unit.

Mathematics

Sorting, patterns, counting, and spatial reasoning introduced through hands-on play.

Science & Discovery

Observation, questioning, and experimentation build the habits of a lifelong learner.

Social-Emotional Learning

Feeling identification, empathy, conflict resolution, and classroom citizenship every day.

Creative Arts

Drawing, painting, movement, and music for self-expression and fine motor development.

Social Studies

Family, community, and belonging — concepts that anchor a child's sense of identity and place.

Our Approach

We discover We develop We Dedicate

Two-year-olds don’t give you a lot of warning. One moment they’re thriving; the next they need a soft redirect, a firm boundary, or just someone to sit beside them on the floor. Our teachers are trained to read those signals and respond with patience and precision.

At Above & Beyond, we believe structure gives toddlers the safety to take risks. Consistent routines, predictable transitions, and clear, kind expectations allow your child to explore boldly because they know what comes next.

We Discover

We take the time to truly discover who your child is - how they learn, what they need, where they shine, and where they need a little extra support. Every child tells us something different and we are always listening.

We develop

We develop each child's confidence, independence, and resilience by meeting them exactly where they are. Whether navigating a transition, working through a peer conflict, or tackling a new skill, our teachers provide the right level of support every single step of the way.

We dedicate

We are dedicated to nurturing every part of who your two year old is becoming because this age is where personality takes shape, confidence gets its roots, and where the foundation for everything is quietly being built.

FAQ

Questions About Our Two-Year-Old Program

Everything parents want to know before enrolling their toddler.

What age does my child need to be to join the two-year-old program?

Children must be at least 24 months old to join our two-year-old classroom. We accept children through 36 months, at which point they transition to our three-year-old preschool program.

Separation anxiety is completely normal at this age. Our teachers use consistent goodbye routines, transition objects, and immediate redirection into engaging activities. 

Most daycares offer loosely themed activities. Frog Street Toddler is a complete scope-and-sequence curriculum — each week builds on the last, across language, math, science, social studies, and the arts. It’s intentional education, not babysitting.

We use the ProCare app to send daily updates, photos, and activity reports directly to your phone. We also provide regular developmental milestone reports and our teachers are available for in-person conversations at pickup so you’re never in the dark about how your toddler is growing.

No, potty training is not required for the two-year-old classroom. We actively support potty training readiness as part of our program, in partnership with families. Consistency between home and school is key, and we communicate daily about progress.

A typical day includes circle time, Frog Street curriculum activities, outdoor play, art and creative expression, music and movement, snack and lunch, nap/rest time, and free exploration. Structure and predictability give toddlers the security to thrive and take risks in learning.

Please contact us directly at (561) 793-6533 to discuss scheduling options. We work with families to find arrangements that fit their needs and our current availability.

We use positive guidance, redirection, and co-regulation not punishment. Our teachers are trained to respond to big emotions as communication, helping children learn to identify and express feelings in safe, supported ways. Twos are big personalities we meet them with patience, structure, and pure joy.

Two-year-olds who engage in rich pretend play show stronger narrative language skills, better theory of mind, and higher reading comprehension years later.
