Focus in the Explorer II Classroom
Each day, your child is encouraged to explore and discover new ways of learning. In our Dublin, OH childcare for 2.5 to 3-year-olds, each child works on expanding their vocabulary to communicate ideas, feelings, and events happening around them. The Explorer II curriculum focuses on identifying the letters of the alphabet, numbers 1-20, and complicated shapes and colors. The science curriculum recognizes animals, weather, seasons, and the body. Dublin Learning Academy students also work on healthy hygiene and manners.
