Three Year Old Classrooms
|
Three year old children are beginning to show interest in others and group activities. Monthly themes, weekly topics and daily activities are used to give children pre-readiness skills, and to keep the children interested in learning. The children learn numerous skills all while they are having fun. Children spend their day interacting in active learning centers, small group, and large group activities.
