They need manageable challenges and mastery experience. They need a relaxed environment that allows for frequent changes in moods, interests, and capabilities. Twos, in particular, need teachers to be learning consultants who accept them in their entire inconsistent behavior, setting limits calmly and firmly when necessary.

Changes to the learning environment, activities, and projects reflect emerging interests and individual goals. Learning centers offer guided experiences that encompass all the skills and understanding necessary for optimum development and success in school. Throughout the day, children make self-directed and guided choices, participate in small groups and projects, join in brief circle-times with the whole group, and reflect upon their learning experiences.
