Early Childhood

3-Year Old Enrichment Activities

MUSIC

 Young children gravitate naturally to music, and it is used to enhance all areas of the curriculum. By singing and engaging in rhythm activities in the classroom, the children grow in their use of language, develop math concepts,  follow directions, and develop an appreciation for different types of music. The children receive additional music exposure through experiences with a certified music instructor. 

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Both fine and gross motor development are emphasized in the three-year-old program.  Children participate in weekly gymnastics activities with a certified physical education specialist from Play by Play, who focuses on coordination and strengthening of large muscle groups.   Children also engage in classroom activities that allow them to strengthen and develop their motor skills.  

SPANISH

Spanish in the 3-year-old classroom  will be on a very basic level.  Opportunities are provided  for children to develop language skills through songs, stories, games, group activities, and finger plays.  Colors, counting , family members, transportation and animals are subjects that are introduced in Spanish.  Language will be learned in an informal structure that encourages verbal interaction.

 

COMPUTERS

Each classroom has a computer for exposure of educational games for pre reading and pre math skills.
