The classroom for 3-year-olds is a nurturing environment where we foster growth in all areas of a child’s development. As the children move from parallel play to interactive play, we strengthen their social and emotional progress through structured, whole-group activities and many opportunities to experience the various learning centers throughout the room at their own pace—by themselves, with a friend, or in a small group.

Conversation, questions and new experiences stimulate the children’s intellectual development. As preschoolers learn to make increasing sense of their world, they eagerly engage in problem-solving, language acquisition, and experimentation without fear of failure.

The 3-year-old’s large muscle development evolves through gross motor activities such as soccer, dance, a music and movement program, and opportunities to ride bikes, jump, climb and run in the gym or outside on the playground. We refine small motor skills through an abundance of arts and crafts activities, math manipulatives, puzzles, and instruction in proper pencil grip and use of scissors.
