Curiosity Turns Into New Skills
Three-year-olds are ready to ask more questions, try new challenges, and take a more active role in their learning. Through station-based activities, outdoor exploration, English and Spanish, and supportive classroom routines, children build early academic skills without losing the joy of play.
Learning Through Questions, Creativity, and Connection
The Three-Year-Old Classroom gives children more opportunities to explore letters, numbers, shapes, colors, early writing, and problem-solving through movement and hands-on experiences.
Spanish is used more frequently throughout the day, and weekly themes help connect stories, art, sensory play, STEM, and early learning concepts. Show and Tell follows the letter of the week, while teachers support toilet learning, social development, and growing classroom independence.
A Year of Discovery and Growing Independence
Children build early academic foundations while continuing to strengthen communication, social confidence, creativity, and the independence needed for the next stage of learning.
Early Literacy and Writing
Children explore letters, letter sounds, name recognition, storytelling, and early writing through themed activities, books, songs, and Show and Tell.
Math and Problem-Solving
Numbers, shapes, colors, patterns, sorting, STEM activities, and hands-on challenges introduce early mathematical thinking.
Social Development
Children practice sharing, taking turns, working in groups, expressing emotions, and solving small conflicts with guidance from their teachers.
Independence and Self-Care
Classroom routines, toilet learning, personal belongings, and daily responsibilities help children become more confident doing things for themselves.
