Three Year Olds
In the Caterpillars, transformation begins — children learn to express themselves, collaborate, and wonder.
In our Caterpillars class, three-year-olds stretch their wings through meaningful play, growing independence, and blossoming early academics. With small class sizes and a low 1:9 ratio, every child receives personalized guidance, encouragement, and time to shine. This year is about enhancing previously learned skills to build new abilities while fostering teamwork, curiosity, and a deepening love for learning.
Pre-K Threes Curriculum
In the Caterpillars classroom, learning feels joyful, purposeful, and full of wonder. Children work both independently and in small groups to develop social connections and collaboration skills. Each morning begins with a meaningful sign-in routine, encouraging name recognition and proper letter formation through repetition and visual cues.
Academically, children explore shapes, colors, and number recognition up to 30, while beginning to write numbers 1–10. Our literacy foundation includes daily practice in identifying and writing upper and lowercase letters, learning the ASL sign for each letter, and writing their names. Patterns, comparisons, and sorting activities nurture logical thinking and attention to detail. Dual-language exposure to English and Spanish broadens their communication and cultural awareness, naturally woven into songs, games, and conversation.
To promote emotional growth and self-expression, we focus on identifying feelings, using kind words, and developing empathy for others. Children are supported in building independence—taking initiative, expressing needs confidently, and contributing meaningfully to the classroom community. Daily sensory exploration, crafts, and hands-on activities provide ample opportunities for fine motor development and creative discovery. This is a year of joyful transformation—where confidence grows, friendships bloom, and each child is nurtured as a capable, curious learner.
