Three to Four Year Olds
Your 3-4 year old is rapidly evolving into a young gentleman or lady. We are here to help prepare them for the future and beyond.
Our preschool classroom continues to be child centered and play based but introduces and encourages letter and number concepts as well as printing and reading readiness. These are taught through fun and stimulating activities planned by our knowledgeable teachers in areas including art, science, dramatic play, computer time and outdoor fun. In addition to a full day of enriching activities, your child is served three balanced meals and has a full 2 hours designated for rest and relaxation to support healthy social and emotional growth.
Our preschool curriculum is designed to be fun and exciting yet challenging, encouraging the children to be active learners. Small and large group child-led activities encourage cooperative play and foster healthy relationships, while our teacher-led activities expose the children to new experiences and expand their learning. The focus of learning has expanded in preschool to include cognitive skills including problem-solving, cause and effect, and connecting experiences.
