Our Program » Threes


The Three's classes build on experiences from the Two's class while recognizing that this may be some children's first school experience.

Our pace at the start allows the children to adjust to new experiences, such as using the bathroom when a parent is not around. Children in the Three's are provided with more choices of play materials and open access to art supplies. The daily schedule is designed to provide plenty of indoor and outdoor "free play" as well as time for more group-centered activities, such as story, art, and snack. The Three's class is always an active group; free time activities allow for social and motor development and much imagination. As in other classes, children are allowed and encouraged to choose what they would like to do.

We strive to provide a balance between active and quiet time, and to give each child as much individual attention as possible. Field trips outside the school may be planned, depending on the needs of each group of children.
