In the three’s program, little learners are supported daily as they dive into new adventures and learn the joy of friendship.
Instruction is driven by each week’s assigned theme, letter, and number, as well as monthly skill sets focused on motor skills and social interactions. In addition to classroom learning, the threes also visit the playground and attend music classes daily. They attend Chapel each week.
