Preschools near Killingworth, CT

3 Year Olds

Children in the Class of the 3s continue to express themselves with ever greater depth and precision. We encourage the development of these emergent literacy skills by awakening their affinity for and interest in written communication. As your three-year-old engages in conversation and exchanges knowledge and information with peers, they are immersed in a world of learning. Each day, educators in the Class of the 3s provide experiences rich with age-appropriate academic components to provoke your child into the act of inquiry and curiosity. Stable classroom routines and rules make for a peaceful environment in which learning can take place.

Pre-K

Complex thinking for four-year-olds is visible and allows them to give shape to their ideas. We gleefully support this by ensuring children are able to utilize technology, various graphic mediums, written communication and more to further encourage their development and growth. Your four-year-old likely enjoys new experiences and collaborating with peers. Our educators take advantage of this by encouraging experiences that allow for an exchange of ideas in the classroom. This vibrant classroom environment will make your child excited about school, and the experiences in our Class of the 4s lead to rich and meaningful academic, social and emotional opportunities for growth.
