Three- & Four-Year-Old Programs

Our curriculum for three- and four-year-olds is designed to make learning fun with a mix of play, music, art, and the introduction of new concepts, including colors, shapes, letters, and numbers. Students are presented with challenges, which develop their fine and gross motor skills and problem-solving skills. Children learn from each other and develop self-confidence through "show and tell" and our annual shows. Personal and social skills are also addressed, including manners, basic hygiene, interaction with peers, and responsibility. There are computers located in each of these rooms, which are used as reinforcement of concepts introduced by the teacher.
