Preschool for 2-Year-Olds Near Me: What to Look for & Why It Matters

Choosing the right preschool for your 2-year-old can feel overwhelming. You're not just looking for childcare—you’re searching for a place where your child will feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

At Ladu Preschool for the Arts in Sandy, UT, we specialize in creative, hands-on early education for children as young as 2 years old. Our program is designed to meet toddlers where they are—socially, emotionally, and developmentally—while building their confidence and skills through music, movement, and imaginative play.

Why Preschool at Age 2?

Two-year-olds are in a magical stage of development. They’re naturally curious, energetic, and eager to explore. A preschool that understands their unique needs can provide structure and socialization in a way that feels fun and supportive—not overwhelming.

Benefits of Preschool for 2-Year-Olds:

• Builds early social and communication skills

• Encourages emotional growth and independence

• Supports motor skill development through active play

• Fosters curiosity, confidence, and creativity

Our classrooms are filled with laughter, music, and safe opportunities to discover the world—because young children learn best when they feel good about themselves.

What Makes Our Program Different?

Hands-On, Process-Based Learning

Our curriculum is rooted in the belief that children learn best through doing. Each day is filled with age-appropriate, hands-on activities that promote confidence and cognitive growth.

We introduce foundational skills like:

• Listening and sequencing

• Color and shape recognition

• Early numeracy and literacy

• Motor skills and movement

• Social and emotional awareness

🎵 Plus, every class includes music time with our Preschool Music Specialist—designed to reinforce weekly learning themes through fun, interactive songs and basic musical concepts.

Safety and Security Come First

We know your child’s safety is your #1 concern—and it’s ours, too.

At Ladu Preschool, we’ve designed our space with your child’s wellbeing in mind:

• Cameras in every classroom

• Open-view windows so parents can observe

• Locked doors and secure access during all class hours

• Strict pick-up procedures for added safety

• Trained, background-checked staff with CPR and pediatric first aid certification

From drop-off to pick-up, we protect your child physically, emotionally, and socially.

Clean, Organized Classrooms Built for Exploration

Our classrooms are kept spotless with hospital-grade cleaning products (stored safely out of reach). High-touch surfaces, toys, and equipment are sanitized throughout the day, and every child has their own sleeping cot and personal storage space.

Our facilities are bright, organized, and designed for safety, comfort, and learning through discovery.

Staff That Feel Like Family

Our teachers are trained in child development and early education—and they love what they do. With small class sizes and consistent classroom routines, your child gets individual attention and gentle guidance every step of the way.

We understand 2-year-olds: they’re noisy, shy, curious, sensitive, and growing at their own pace. We meet them exactly where they are—with love, encouragement, and creativity.

Our Schedule for 2-Year-Olds

We offer two flexible class schedules to meet your family's needs:

• Tuesdays & Thursdays

• Wednesdays & Fridays

Each class features music, movement, sensory play, circle time, and outdoor fun (weather permitting). And yes—our 2-year-olds get to perform at our Christmas and Spring programs, too!
