We Two

Welcome to the wonderful world of the toddler years! Wheeling Country Day School offers We Two​, ​a great introduction to the parent-teacher partnership in a child’s education.

We Two provides a positive first school experience in a non-threatening environment and atmosphere so that children realize that learning is fun. They enjoy experiences in and exposure to the various areas of development that are age and stage appropriate for toddlers and to help them “grow from what they know” by aiding them in making connections.

Play is a toddler’s work, a vehicle for social, emotional, and cognitive development. We Two offers children opportunities to understand their world, interact with others, and explore their natural curiosity. The parents/caregivers provide security and support while the children openly explore invitations of loose parts, sensory experiences, music and movement, stories, and playtime throughout the program. 

There is no one like your child! Each is unique with development taking place at individual rates. We Two is a fun, interactive, enriching environment where each child’s development is embraced and further developed. The interaction that takes place between and among the children, their caregivers, and the teacher promotes a sense of accomplishment and growth. Our goal is to continue to bring out the natural love of learning and inquisitive nature that is the essence of the 2- to 3-year-old in a safe, caring environment.
