YOUNG THREES (36 – 42 MONTHS)

1, 2, 3 or 4 days a week (Monday-Thursday)

Our young three year old class is just a step up from our two year old class. The teachers in this class will do a beginning, middle and end of the year evaluation to assess your child’s development. Parent-teacher conferences can be scheduled after receiving each assessment.

This class will begin to focus on:

• Social and emotional development
• Language and handwriting introduction
• Increased attention span 

Children in this class will continue with increased knowledge in: 

• Letters
• Shapes
• Numbers
• Colors

Our students have themed units throughout the whole year to make coming to school a fun experience. In this class we will continue to have a daily circle time, but we will only focus on a certain letter and number for two weeks. We will continue to learn our colors and shapes on a four week learning basis.

In this class we will start to introduce:

• Cutting
• Pencil gripping 
• Sorting using children’s tweezers to start building the strong muscles that our students will need to have good handwriting skills in the future. 
• Writing our names along with other letters and numbers 
• Class graphing for math 
• A fun science experiment once a month

The Bible is a very big part of our program:

• We will introduce the learning of Bible verses and being able to say them on our own.
• Students will focus on learning the same Bible study for four weeks to make sure they really understand it.
• Students will participate in chapel every morning with praise and worship songs that include hand and dance movements .
• They will watch a mini Bible movie clip to help our students better understand the Bible stories we are learning.
• We also play different games or act out our Bible stories.
• We will recite our Bible verse together in chapel each day to help our students learn it. 
• Our chapel always closes with prayer.

We are happy to offer these enrichment programs at no extra cost to parents:

• P.E. on Tuesdays and Thursdays 
• Music on Mondays and Wednesdays
• Giggle Bus once a month
• Basketball fundamentals once a month
