THREE-YEAR-OLD CARE
The Three-Year-Old classroom offers many self-care, early literacy and interpersonal activities
to twenty children. Two qualified caregivers provide opportunities for children to use all of their senses
as they learn about the world around them. Social skills are fostered that include sharing, taking turns, using empathy and
expressing feelings. Children begin to identify colors, shapes, sounds that letters make and recognize their first and last
names. Simple counting games and songs introduce children to number concepts and sequencing. Field trips are new to this group
and allow children to participate in a variety of interesting field experiences in the community.

FOUR-YEAR-OLD
CARE
The Four-Year-Old class expands upon personal, social, cognitive and other experiences gleaned in the earlier programs.
Three caregivers introduce 24 children to such preschool concepts as days of the week, months, weather, letter and number
symbols, animals, seasons, transportation and more. Field trips relate to the weekly or monthly theme (e.g., the
pumpkin patch when studying Autumn; the fire station when studying Safety). Guest speakers present material on cultural diversity
(e.g., Hanukkah, Kwanzaa), community helpers (e.g., dentist, police officer) and other subjects related to the themes.
