Curriculum3 Year Old Preschool
Our 3 year old preschool program is developed to create learning experiences and social experiences through play, projects, and activities. Pre-School 3 is designed to transition your child into a more group schedule with small focused activities to capture their attention. The teachers provide age appropriate academic and social emotional support to create a fun learning atmosphere. Our Preschool 3 learners walk away from our program with a solid social emotional foundation as well as a knowledge of God’s love, and compassion towards others.
Age 3 by December 1st. Child must be completely toilet trained. No pull ups or diapers are allowed at any time. Our 3 year program offers several options for parents. Your child may attend full and / or half days with a minimum of 3 half days per week M-W-F.
We provide a caring and nurturing learning environment for 3 year old’s from all backgrounds. We recognize that all children learn at their own pace using different learning styles. Our three year old program lays the foundation for our preschool program.
