What is Preschool 3's?
Children at this age are rapidly gaining independence and social skills, and our curriculum is tailored to meet these needs. Children will learn through a variety of thematic experiences in which children play in centers that are designed around our learning standards as well as participate in large group and small group activities. Classrooms are play-based, sensory rich, and very hands-on.
