Threes

(3-4 Years old)

the Preschool curriculum aides the children in mastering letter and number recognition, developing a healthy imagination, brainstorming problem-solving solutions, and scaffolding already mastered learning skills to new concepts. Preschool children are given the tools to explore with various objects to further develop their understanding of what has been introduced to them throughout the early stages. Preschoolers are becoming active members of a community where they can cooperate and discuss solutions with others to complete a common task. They gain awareness of their feelings and how they can affect others. The teachers in the preschool classroom are consistently challenging the student to further their understanding of concepts and ideas while engaging them in stimulating and fun activities.
