Preschool for Threes

Who, what, where, and why? These are the questions every three-year-old asks! So our curriculum for this age group is designed to develop the “whole child” — intellectually, physically, socially and spiritually. It is based on learning through play, and our daily routine consists of activities the children love to do — art projects, puzzles, manipulative toys, dramatic play objects. We offer tables filled with developmental and curriculum-based items, all designed to enhance their development and answer their questions about their world!

Most days begin with circle time focusing on cognitive development, and includes songs, puzzles, finger puppets, games, or reading a story. The month, day of the week, pledge to the flag, and a prayer are included in this segment — maybe even an experiment or two!

After circle time, the day continues with visits to the “special classes.” Science, drama, music, computer, and Fun-N-Fitness teachers provide instruction through activities that correspond to the three-year-old curriculum. In addition to the special classes, each three-year-old class will go to the playground, have lunch, and will also spend time in their own room. An afternoon circle time is provided for the Bible story and scripture verse for the month.
