My name is Brenda Ruehs, and I am the two's teacher. Welcome to our class! Light of Christ Preschool offers a Half-day and Full-day 2-year-old developmental/hands-on age-appropriate program. Click here for half-day and extended-day program options. 

In our 2-year-old program, children engage in meaningful experiences, connect concepts to experiences, and develop language skills by attaching words to their experiences. With generous amounts of child-initiated activities, the children can examine their world through play- cultivating wonder, discovery, and creativity. "Learning" is happening all day long!

We focus on social/emotional development, language/communication, cognitive (learning, thinking, problem-solving), music, movement, and physical development. Teachers help guide social interactions and facilitate the sharing of toys. Jesus Time is centered on God's love for us by using simple stories from the Bible, puppets, flannelgraph, and music, allowing teachers to make connections back to God's love for them throughout the day. By the end of the year, children will have a strong foundation to enter our 3-year-old program.
