Preschool Programs – Age-Appropriate Early Learning for 3, 4, and 5 Year Olds

Early childhood is a time of rapid growth, discovery, and development. During these formative preschool years, children begin developing their unique personalities and a growing sense of independence. Most children this age have developed enough vocabulary to clearly communicate their wants and needs, making it an ideal time for structured early learning.

3 Year Old Preschool Class

Our 3-year-old preschool program builds on foundational skills developed during the toddler years, introducing more structured early education concepts, including:

• Shapes and colors

• Letter recognition

• Days of the week and months of the year

• Circle time and extended attention span for group lessons

• Story time and early literacy through listening to books

In addition to academic readiness, our 3-year-old classroom focuses on independence and self-help skills. Children in this class are expected to:

• Use the bathroom with minimal assistance

• Brush their teeth independently

• Put on their own jackets and shoes

Our goal is to help each child build self-reliance and confidence, especially when preparing for outdoor time with minimal adult support. Parents are often amazed at how capable young children become when given the opportunity to practice independence in a supportive, encouraging environment.

4 and 5 Year Old Preschool Class (Pre-K)

Our 4 and 5-year-old preschool class, often referred to as our Pre-K program, is where foundational skills come together in exciting ways. This is a pivotal stage of kindergarten readiness, where children continue building on early learning while developing more advanced academic and life skills.

In this classroom, children practice:

• Writing their first and last names

• Spelling their names

• Learning important personal information (name, age, family details, etc.)

• Advancing letter, shape, color, and early word-building skills

• Taking on classroom helper roles and responsibilities

Just as in our 3-year-old class, children in this group are expected to demonstrate full independence in:

• Using the bathroom without assistance

• Brushing their teeth

• Putting on jackets and shoes unaided

We place strong emphasis on early literacy and reading readiness. Many children begin their first steps into reading through our BOB Books® program, a proven method for building early reading confidence and skill.
