Threes Program
In the Threes Program, children experience a year filled with growing independence and blossoming curiosity. With a balance of structured learning and purposeful play, three-year-olds participate in circle time, early literacy and math readiness, themed activities, and cooperative games that help them understand routines and expectations. This is a year where language skills flourish, friendships grow, and children begin confidently expressing their ideas. Our teachers guide them through each new milestone with patience, enthusiasm, and plenty of hands-on learning.
