Three Year Olds

This class consists of children starting at 3* years old with a teacher to child ratio of 1:8.

While your children are in our care, they will go through many developmental stages that will help them grow and learn news tasks in their lives.  Children’s daily activities will  include:  group time, art, and outside play, among other things.  The children play very hard and often get messy, so please dress your child in play clothing and shoes appropriate for outside play.  Each day one student will be class leader.  This student gets to place items on the calendar, lead the line when the class leaves the room, and many other important tasks. 

Milestones: potty training; dressing themselves; and teeth brushing.

Parents will receive a daily updates of their activities throughtout the day on the brightwheel app. Outside the room, you will find a parent information board that will inform you of our daily schedule, menus, and information about our weekly curriculum. 

*NOTE: Children are placed in classes based on development not age.
