Our three-year-olds continue to develop their independence by learning to share, play cooperatively, and develop gross and fine motor skills. Language development and pre-literacy experiences are enhanced by reading books, learning rhymes, songs, and finger-plays. Children learn numeracy and problem-solving skills as they take risks through role-playing, building with blocks, maneuvering manipulatives (puzzles, beads, stackers, Legos, etc.), and experimenting with a variety of art media. Children develop physically as they participate in music, creative movement activities, and outdoor play. Our nature trail provides additional opportunities for children to explore and wonder about the world around them.
