| The Leopard Room - Two Years Nine Months - Three and One half Years |
| Our three year old program is designed to accommodate the emerging skills and capabilities of these young learners. Children are grouped by age and maturity level and are introduced to a rich array of learning activities specifically designed to engage the developmental milestones of late two to three year old children. Children are introduced to pre-reading skills including letter recognition and letter-sound correspondences, science, and social studies, including learning about their own community and different cultures. In addition, children are introduced to art projects, sensory-motor games, drama, cooking, and singing. There is a mix of teacher-directed activities and time for free exploration and play. The pre-school program selected may be either part-time or full-time. A morning program 9-12:30p.m. is one option, and we also offer a 9-3p.m. program. This program offers a 1:8 ratio with a maximum enrollment of 24 children. Extra-curricular enrichment classes are available in Spanish, gymnastics, or dance three afternoons a week. Our teachers prepare a "hot lunch" once a week as a fund raiser to purchase special classroom materials outside of their regular budget. |
