Our goal is to advance your child’s emotional, social, and academic skills while providing a welcoming learning environment. Below are some of the skills children will continue develop in 3K while playing with their friends:

 

• Language Arts and Literacy: learn new vocabulary, listen to and discuss stories, letter identification.

• Math Concepts: number names, counting, cardinality, sorting, patterns, non-standard measurement, simple Data collection and processing, identification of shapes, simple addition and subtraction. 

• Fine Motor Skills: manipulating small objects, painting, drawing, pencil grip, letter formation (writing), and use of scissors.

• Gross Motor Skills: children will run, jump, walk, hop, climb, balance, pedal a tricycle, kick, throw and catch a ball, push, and pull.

• Science: with teachers’ prompt and support, children will be encouraged to ask questions and make predictions, explore and experiment, observe and describe characteristics of living and non-living things.

• Awareness of self: respect themselves and others as well as our school community, waiting one’s turn to speak and play, demonstrate an understanding of roles, rights, and responsibilities.

• Social/Emotional Studies: Children will learn about different emotions and feelings, and deepen their knowledge of friendship, family, and community workers.

• Visual and Performing Arts: children will express themselves and represent what they know, think, believe, and feel through visual arts, music and creative movement.
