3 Year Olds

These children must be completely toilet trained.

Curriculum: For 3 years old we limit our presentation to upper case letters and we purposely associate these symbols to literature and vocabulary through stories and hands-on social activities. Each week students practice letter recognition on paper by making a block letter collage and exploring through multi sensory activities, such as letter pillows and object bags. The Writing activities begin by tracing letters and numbers and progressing to paper and crayons at the child’s pace. Literacy songs, games and hands on learning centers increase the child’s attention span and individual learning skills.Our academic goals are to help these children begin to pattern, sort and classify colors, numbers and shapes. During the year they practice recognizing and understanding numbers 1-10. Projects are simple and fun and will get harder as the year progresses. They will be using clay, painting, and other art forms.

Communication: Parents and student attend an orientation with the teacher. They will see the class room and the child will get their first home work assignment. Each month a calendar will be sent home that will show what we will be doing for the month.
