Programs

3’s Program

The curriculum for children 3 to 4 years old reflects the interests and developmental abilities of the age group, in particular increased attention span, more refined motor skills and greater problem solving skills. The curriculum also focuses on reinforcing group skills and the development of expressive language.

The 3’s classroom is organized so that children have access to many different materials. They move freely through the classroom, often spending some of that time working with a teacher either individually or in a small group. The 3’s program meets from 9am to 1pm five days per week. Lunch is provided by each family and served in the classrooms.

An extended day program is offered for 3 year-olds. Parents can elect to send their children to any (or all) of the four extended-day classes offered weekly, Monday through Thursday. On each of these days after school, there is a different class activity planned for the children. Examples of some of the exciting activities we have offered include Art, Sculpture, Science and Introduction to Sign Language. This voluntary program extends the 3-year-olds’ day to 2:45 pm.
