The Three Year Old program is a safe, fun and friendly introduction to the school environment. We take the first steps to develop lifelong learners by encouraging creativity, fostering positive relationships with peers and teachers and practicing routines and skills needed for school!
Our play-based instruction includes colors, shapes, counting, patterning, using writing tools and scissors, drawing, cooperation, sharing and more. We offer engaging sensory experiences – we are not afraid to get messy! Students learn to love school and love learning.
All classes include choice time (art, dramatic play, etc.), circle time, gross motor development and snack time.

Our Young Fives program is specifically designed to encourage and enhance the development of five-year olds and meet their unique needs. One element of the program that helps us meet the individual level and needs of each child is small group time. Small group time allows teachers to assist with and extend concepts on a more individualized basis where they more closely focus on these four objectives:
PHYSICAL
LANGUAGE & LITERACY
COGNITIVE
SPIRITUAL / SOCIAL / EMOTIONAL
Child must be 5 by September 1, 2020. No waivers or exceptions.
