3-year-old (T/Th)

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 through Friday, May 22, 2009

Children need to be 3-years of age by October 16th and be fully potty trained. The staff-child ratio is 1:7.

Activities are designed to help children in developing writing readiness skills, eye-hand coordination, visual perception as well as listening and thinking skills.

Button Bear is one of the books in that is used in this class and it helps children sharpen listening skills, follow directions and practice eye-hand coordination as they learn number concepts 1-15. Children enjoy tracing pathways, doing dot-to-dot and coloring large simple forms.

Child Art is another book used in this class. It is designed to help children learn colors and shapes, follow directions and develop eye-hand coordination. It features seasonal, patriotic, religious, health, safety and science pictures which are drawn with colorful wide lines and in a simple style for young children.

Science will be introduced in the 3-year old class. Children learn best and understand ideas better if they are able to investigate in a hands-on environment. During science children will see and touch what they are investigating. Hands-on activities will help children to think critically and gain confidence in their own ability to solve problems. Children will use activities to explore, discover and share observations.

Literature is taught weekly along with the letter of the week to help with story recall, sequencing, fact and fantasy.
