Three-Year-Olds (Preschool)

Three-Year-Olds

Children who participate in our three-year-old program turn three prior to September 1st of the current school year. In an effort to balance the class, our goal is to arrange each class with both boys and girls and with a range of birth dates clustered with several winter birthdays, spring /summer birthdays and fall birthdays. Our three-year-old classes are designed as an introduction for the child to a group setting. Each child is viewed as a unique individual, with differing learning styles, and levels of ability.

Program Options:

Tuesday/Thursday: 8:30-11:30, 12:30-3:00 OR 12:30-3:30

Monday/Wednesday/Friday: 12:30-3:30
