3K Preschool

Our 3K classroom allow the children to pursue activities, which are considered to be in the realm of the traditional preschool curriculum. There is ample opportunity for exploration and imaginative play with large blocks, dress up clothing, housekeeping and building equipment (among other toys), as well as structured learning activities. Concepts introduced in the previous classroom are expanded. For example, a child is pasting to complete a definite project, cutting on a line to make a square or circle, drawing between two lines to develop eye/hand coordination and beginning writing skills. Children continue to work on numbers, counting and shapes and the alphabet is introduced. Our 3K class will be introduced to Handwriting without Tears curriculum the 2nd half of the school year, preparing them for 4K.  Children also continue their large motor skills through activities during our indoor and outdoor gym time. This class has a 2:12 ratio.
While in our three’s class, the children continue to share snack and lunch together. Quiet time or naps are reserved for after lunch. 
Parents will need to bring a lunch, sleeping bag, change of clothing, which will remain at the center, and any comfort items needed for sleeping. Please have everything clearly labeled.  While it is not required that our 3’s be toilet trained and out of diapers/pull-ups, it is highly recommended that parents be actively toilet training their children. Staff will work alongside parents to help in this process.
