What We Do

At three and four years old, children are in a vibrant stage of development, exhibiting a range of behaviors and skills that make this an exciting age.   

  • Language and Literacy: Our teachers develop vocabulary, early literacy skills, and a love for reading through stories, rhymes, and interactive language activities.   

  • Math and Science: Our preschool students are introduced to basic mathematical concepts and scientific exploration through counting, sorting, measuring, and simple experiments.   

  • Creative Artists: Children’s creativity and self-expression is encouraged through visual arts, music, dance, and dramatic play.  

  • Social and Emotional Learning: Social-Emotional Development blossoms at this age. The key elements of Social-Emotional Learning that are a focus at this age include emotional recognition and expression, developing empathy, building peer relationships, and problem solving and conflict resolution.
