THREE-YEAR-OLD PROGRAM

THREE-YEAR-OLD CLASS

Three-year-old children experience a tremendous period of intense growth as they begin to develop new physical skills such as jumping, running, and climbing, as well as listening, speaking, sequencing, and memory-building skills.

Our program centers on a thematic approach that introduces children to alphabet letters using developmentally appropriate, multisensory activities. These tools are designed to promote phonemic awareness and letter recognition.

Math activities are action oriented and use manipulatives and number games. Preschoolers learn by doing. Topics including classification, sorting, ordering, counting, size awareness, and numeral recognition are included in the three-year-old curriculum.

Writing development, science and social studies, learning centers, art, and music provide a multi-sensory approach to learning to develop auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and tactile learning in our three-year-old classroom. We believe that each child is special and unique, and it is our goal to meet the physical, social, intellectual, and emotional needs of every child. Our comprehensive, thematic approach to education strives to meet this goal in the development of the student.
