Shining Stars | Age 3
Our 3 year old classes are made up of active learners who enjoy investigation, exploration, and discovery as they refine and expand their skills and knowledge.
Our Approach
Through individualized instruction, multi-sensory activities, small group play, and large group learning environments, we build children’s faith, confidence, creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving skills.
Our Stars are assessed throughout the year to evaluate developmental milestones and knowledge. Parent/teacher conferences are held in the fall and the spring to communicate development, growth, and goals.
Christian values are incorporated into our curriculum on a daily basis. Our purposefully-designed classrooms provide appropriate and meaningful learning experiences. Enrichment activities enhance our well rounded curriculum. This gives our Stars the foundation that leads to success in school and in life.
Your child must be 3 years old by September 30th in the year of enrollment and fully potty trained. Our staff to child ratio is 1:7/8 with one teacher and one assistant, and a maximum capacity of 14/16 children.
