Three Year Olds
The focus of our three year old classroom is working on skills needed to be successful in VPK. We work on teacher led instruction in small and large groups while still focusing on basic skills in addition to incorporating music, arts, and free play. Students must be fully potty-trained to be in this class. The preschool years are an incredible time of growth! During this stage, children show remarkable enthusiasm for learning, and you'll notice their abilities to experiment, explore, and focus on tasks progress rapidly. Our program is designed to support their curiosity and developmental needs by providing challenges, engaging activities, and encouragement tailored to their individual interests—all rooted in the belief that children learn best through play.
Four Year Olds/VPK
Our VPK classrooms follow the curriculum requirements set by the Early Learning Division of the Department of Education. We continue working on advancing basic skills through print knowledge, spatial relationships, oral language and vocabulary, mathematics, science, social skills, phonological awareness and other areas of concentration. Our four year old students also receive social and emotional awareness curriculum through Second Step. Through engaging activities, hands-on learning, and structured play, we create a dynamic environment where children can explore, discover, and grow.
