What We Teach
Learn from the Start Curriculum
Learn from the Start is an educational program that addresses the developmental needs of infants, toddlers, and twos. Children learn skills and concepts in sequence at their own unique pace. This program lets you meet your children where they are along their developmental path.

Learning Center
Observe your children's learning throughout the day as they:
- Work with toys and classroom materials
- Interact with one another, with you, and with other adults
- Respond to the language you model and use
- Engage in the experiences you plan
- Eat, walk, run, play, climb, dump, pour, learn and enjoy just being a child
Learn from the Start gives teachers the tools to:
- Know their children through accurate observation and assessment
- Plan experiences and activities connected to milestones their children are ready to learn using the “grab & go” experience cards
- Design an enriching and engaging classroom environment for their children
- Create an emotionally safe and happy classroom through making lasting connections with their children
Child Development
Milestones We Nurture in Twos
We track every child's journey through a set of core developmental milestones — and celebrate every step forward, big or small.
Approaches to Learning
Focuses on expanding curiosity, active exploration, and creative problem-solving. Twos begin experimenting with new art media, sorting items by attributes, staying focused despite distractions, trying multiple strategies to complete tasks, and asking for or using adult guidance when needed.
Cognitive Development
Captures advancing cause-and-effect reasoning, spatial understanding, and basic emotional awareness. Children explore by taking things apart, following two-step directions, fitting shapes or completing simple puzzles, recognizing and naming emotions, and expressing emerging independence.
Language & Communication Development
Highlights growing expressive and receptive communication. Twos begin using short sentences, asking questions about pictures, engaging in brief back-and-forth conversations, repeating favorite rhymes/stories, and using descriptive words to share ideas.
Language & Communication Development (Early Writing)
Focuses on foundational print awareness and fine motor writing skills. Milestones include holding a writing tool with a thumb-and-finger grip, scribbling or drawing mock letters to convey meaning, recognizing the first letter of their name, and understanding that print represents speech.
Physical Development & Health (Gross Motor)
Measures improved dynamic balance, strength, and spatial control. Twos demonstrate progress through alternating feet on stairs, throwing overhand, jumping with both feet together, and throwing or kicking a ball in a intended direction.
Physical Development & Health (Fine Motor & Self-Help)
Addresses growing manual dexterity and functional independence. Twos practice self-care skills (dressing with assistance, washing hands, toilet training efforts), use tools like child-safe scissors, turn individual book pages, and feed themselves independently.
Social-Emotional Development
Emphasizes self-identity, peer interaction skills, and behavioral regulation. Twos show progress by participating in group activities, following simple rules, waiting for turns, using words to resolve conflicts or claim ownership, showing empathy, and building confidence in daily tasks.
Where friendships begin
Age 2–3 is the critical window for social development. Our Twos programme gives children the scaffolding to navigate friendships, emotions, and group play with growing confidence.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything families want to know about the Twos programme.
What is the difference between Toddlers and Twos?⌄
The Twos programme has a stronger emphasis on social development, independence, and school-readiness skills. Children move from parallel to cooperative play and develop much stronger language and self-care abilities.
My child turns 2 mid-year — can they join Twos?⌄
Yes. We assess developmental readiness alongside age when placing children, so speak to your center's principal about the best fit for your child.
How do you manage behaviour in the Twos class?⌄
We use positive, relationship-based guidance techniques. Aggression and frustration are normal at this age — our teachers are trained to respond calmly and teach children better strategies.
Do children have a dedicated nap time?⌄
We don't have a dedicated nap time in our daily schedule, but we understand that some little ones still need a nap during the day. We'll do our best to accommodate their needs. Children who don't need a nap can enjoy free play, explore their surroundings, and engage in age-appropriate activities.
What language is used in the classroom?⌄
English is the primary language. Our teachers model rich English language use throughout the day while being responsive and warm in Bahasa Indonesia where needed.
How do I know if my child is ready for Preschool?⌄
Our teachers will share a developmental progress report near the end of the Twos year and discuss school readiness with you. We guide every family through this transition.
