three-year-old program and we are very excited to have her on board with us.

four-year-old class since 2005. She has three children who are

children and has been an asset to our program.
The
Goal of the Three-year-old Class
Our most
important goal for your children is to bridge the gap between home and school to
provide the first step in their education.
The 3 year old class is often a child's first time in
any kind of organized program independent of the home. Through
a curriculum rich in
socialization,
creative play, discovery, literature, language, music, art, and hand-on
activities, your children will come to view school
as a happy and
comfortable place where learning is truly fun.
Three-Year-Old Curriculum
The 3 year-old
curriculum revolves around seasons, holidays, and the familiar experiences that
surround children in their lives. We strive to bring to life the world
around them and expand their horizons as they grow in confidence and
independence while participating in fun, creative, and engaging age-appropriate activities. With a balance of
quiet and active times the children will learn to transition between
activities.
Themes
may include friends, family, feelings, senses, seasons, holidays, colors,
shapes, animals,
community
helpers, transportation, insects, flowers, and
more.
Skills will
develop in the following areas:
~ Social and Emotional ~ learn to share and take turns as they
enter into cooperative group play with their peers, separate from family and
feel secure in an environment away from home, grow in confidence and
self-control, develop listening skills and attention span, and make new
friendships.

movement, large block building, exercises, marching, climbing, outside/gym
