*Children continue learning self help skills in this classroom and begin learning responsibility.  Children have jobs such as passing out items, holding a door, or feeding the class pet.  Learning to take turns, share, and clean up at the end of the day are also skills they are proud of.
* Children are able to spend time outside on our playground specified for preschoolers.  Gross motor activities are targeted as they can climb, slide, catch, jump and throw.
* Basic Spanish is introduced by teaching the children the Spanish words for items in the classroom.
* Three year olds are capable of learning routines and feel comfort in consistency.  Our teachers follow a daily schedule and have a weekly themed curriculum to engage your children in active learning.
* Positive reinforcement is essential for guiding appropriate behavior.  Children learn to use kind word from the examples they hear.
