Our three-year-old program provides children with a structured setting to work on social/emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development. Students learn to positively interact with peers and adults, while exploring the world around them using their natural curiosity. Every day, children engage in both teacher and student-led activities and play, as well as learning Bible stories, singing songs, and storytime. Early literacy and math concepts are introduced including letter/number recognition, phonemic awareness, counting and patterns.
