​Four-year-old class – 5 days

All of our daily activities are based on the theory that young children learn through play. We monitor activities and plan projects that will encourage development of cognitive skills, language and vocabulary development, social and emotional growth, and math and science enrichment. We are very aware of kindergarten readiness, and guide each child individually.

Threes and Fours Programs

In the 3s and 4s classrooms, learning experiences are age appropriate and developmentally balanced through child initiated and teacher directed activities. We promote language (listening and speaking), pre-reading, pre-writing, pre-math (sorting, shapes, sizes ) and gross motor skills.

​Weekly themes are integrated into all the learning centers in the classroom. We also have “special time” such as weekly chapel, music enrichment, parent readers, and special community helper visits (firefighters, police officers to name a few.)
