Open House for Junior 3-K is scheduled for Monday, June 30 at 5:30 PM

​

Kaleidoscope's Junior 3-K Program is a warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully structured class designed especially for older two year olds and younger three year olds who are beginning their first school experience. This mixed-age, tuition-based program introduces children to the routines, relationships, and joys of early learning in a nurturing and developmentally appropriate environment, supporting a smooth transition into school life, helping children grow in confidence, independence, and connection.​

​

  • Older Two Year Olds: Children who turn 2 years old in January or February of 2025​

  • Younger Three Year Olds: Children who turn 3 years old between September and December of 2025

• Class Size: 15 children (3 older 2s and 12 younger 3s)

Due to space limitations, this classroom does not have a diaper-changing table. We kindly ask that children are toilet independent by the first day of school.​

​

 

Junior 3-K follows the same mission, philosophy, and curriculum framework as all Kaleidoscope programs:

• Play-based learning that encourages discovery, exploration, and wonder

• Inquiry-driven curriculum that follows children's interests and builds foundational skills

• Multicultural learning environment where every child's background is celebrated

• Social-emotional learning that supports self-regulation, friendship, and communication

The mixed-age classroom model provides many benefits:

• Older 2s are inspired by watching slightly older peers

• Younger 3s build leadership, empathy, and patience

• Teachers scaffold each child's development with personalized care and attention

​

​

Your child's day will be filled with:

• Welcoming morning routines and community time

• Sensory-rich and imaginative play centers

• Movement, music, art, and storytelling

• Outdoor exploration in our private playground

• Shared meals and rest time

• Consistent transitions and comforting rituals to build security

We focus on fostering:

• Language growth through books, songs, and conversations

• Social confidence through small-group play and teacher-supported interactions

• Early math, science, and literacy through hands-on exploration

• Independence in dressing, toileting, and self-help skills

​

​

Even our youngest learners are citizens of a colorful world. Junior 3-K celebrates the home languages, traditions, and identities of every family. We incorporate global stories, songs, and cultural celebrations that reflect our school's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and belonging.

​

 

We understand that this may be your child's first school experience - and yours as well! We partner with families every step of the way through:

• Open communication and family check-ins

• Orientation and gradual entry plans

• Parent-teacher conferences

• Invitations to share your culture, talents, and traditions in the classroom​

​

 

Applications are now open for the 2025 - 2026 school year. 

Join us for a magical year of first friendships, big feelings, and little discoveries.
