Classes

The Three Year Old Program for children who will reach the age of 3 by December 1 of the current school year provides a nurturing atmosphere in which children's introduction to the educational process is accepting, inviting, and encouraging, helping to establish a positive attitude towards school. Teachers assist the children in experiencing a positive separation from home: providing opportunities to work with various media forms; helping to develop listening skills; offering opportunities for large and small motor development; exposing them to readiness concepts in reading, writing, and math; encouraging growth in social development; and promoting an awareness of health and safety. (There are 2 teachers and a maximum of 14 children in each 3 year old class)

The Four Year Old Program for children who will reach the age of 4 by December 1 of the current school year and the Pre-Kindergarten Program for children who will reach the age of 5 by March 1 of the current school year are geared toward the further development of educational concepts in math, science and literature, as well as social, emotional and physical growth. The teachers also help to develop an appreciation and enjoyment of music, art and creative expression. There are many opportunities for making choices, becoming independent thinkers and developing confidence. These children have weekly Spanish lessons and they go on field trips to enrich their studies of various themes. (There are 2 teachers and a maximum of 16 children in each 4 year old & preK class)
