Babies 2: English for 2-year-olds

The moment English becomes their own.

Babies 2 is the level for 2-year-olds. The parent is still in the classroom, but gradually takes a step back as the child claims their own space in the group.

What the week looks like

45 minutes a week with a parent + 2 sensory labs a month

01

The session with a parent

45 minutes in which mum or dad are right there, inside the play: singing, dancing, touching the materials, listening to Koko’s stories. The parent is the safe harbour the child sets out from to explore, and 45 minutes without a phone become quality time together.

02

The sensory labs

Twice a month, a special experience: colours, sounds, textures, little experiments. English arrives through the hands, the eyes and the ears.

The KOKOland pathway from 1 to 18

Every year has its milestone

From 1 to 18, a goal for every stage. They grow one step at a time, always alongside children their own age.

Yes. The KOKOland pathway runs from age 1 to 18 and is divided into stages designed for each age: Babies 1 (age 1) and Babies 2 (age 2); Stars 1 (age 3), Stars 2 (ages 4 and 5) and Stars 3 (age 6); Primary 1 (age 7), Primary 2 (age 8) and Primary 3 (ages 9 and 10); Junior 1 (age 11) and Junior 2 (ages 12 and 13); Teens 1 (age 14), Teens 2 (age 15) and Teens 3 (ages 16 to 18). Each level has its own goal for the year, and children move up one level at a time, together with their peers.
