Preschool - 3s turning 4 & a few 2 1/2 year olds* turning 3 by Sept 15thSubtitle
Potty trained: recognizing when he/she needs to potty AND getting to the potty.
80% self sufficient
We have two potty breaks in the schedule. Students must be willing to "try". If the student "fights the teacher" on the potty, he/she may not be developmentally ready to participate in a classroom style setting.
Morning session: 3s will be divided into two age groups:
- One class of 3s with fall semester birthdays (all students will be 4 by December)
- A second class of 3s with spring semester birthdays (January - May) plus summer birthdays.
*This is the class where we may have a couple 2 1/2 year olds who will be turning 3 prior to January.
As the class rosters develop, we may be having our oldest 3s who turn 4 late July or early August/September in our very younger PreK class. This will just depend upon enrollment.
Class sizes: 7 students with one teacher
Afternoon session: This session is well suited for the active preschooler because this session usually has more outside learning due to weather being warmer in the afternoon.
The children will learn:
- Indoor and Outdoor Classroom Experience
- STEM Activities
- Learning Through Play
- Alphabet Capital Recognition (Out of Order)
- Counting and Number Recognition
- Lots of Playing Together and Social Skills
- God's Love For People/Bible Learning
- Science Experiments
- Colors and Shapes
- Spiritual Foundations
- Music Appreciation
- Phonics
This class will have LOTS of hands-on learning centers which focus on fine motor skills while learning letters or numbers or patterning. We believe preschool should be FUN and help kids learn in their playful style.
