Shooting 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.
TEACHERs
Ms. Marissa Head Teacher
Ms. Marissa has been a part of the LHCP family for a while, as her son attended during his preschool years, and she has been subbing here since 2023. With 8 years of teaching experience at the Elementary level and a Masters in Special Education, we are excited to have her as a Head Teacher this year. She attends Long Hill Chapel with her husband and 3 kids, and her passion for teaching and children is unmistakable. Ms. Marissa finds immense joy in children and truly feels that she leaves here a happier person at the end of each day because of them and her fellow teachers.
Ms. Shannon Assistant Teacher
Ms. Shannon has been part of LHCP since 2023—first as a substitute teacher, then as the assistant teacher for the Sprouts. She is thrilled to be working with the Spouts and Shooting Stars this year! A proud mom of three, Ms. Shannon’s daughter is a LHCP alum, making this school extra special to her. She finds so much joy in working with children and loves the energy, curiosity, and laughter they bring to each day.
