Three year olds, also known as preschoolers, build on what was introduced in our twos classes. They review shapes, colors and learn to identify numbers and sets 0 to 5. They are introduced to capital letters and begin learning to write their name. Teachers also begin exposing children to various print concepts. Circle time is a vital part of our day when we learn to sit in a small group, take turns sharing, listen to stories, and explore themes. Threes begin working with small manipulatives to develop fine-motor coordination as we learn to handle scissors, glue and pencils. Threes attend chapel on Monday and Tuesday, and music or Stretch-n-Grow each day. Threes must be potty trained and able to “paper” on their own. Informal, teacher observation assessments are done twice yearly. End-of-year parent-teacher conferences are optional. Choices for threes are: MWF, TTh, or M-F.
