<strong>3D</strong> <strong>Preschool</strong> - 3 <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Old</strong> <strong>Class</strong> <strong>Curriculum</strong><br />
For most children, the preschool experience is a very new and exciting time in their lives.<br />
Our goal at <strong>3D</strong> <strong>Preschool</strong> is to provide a safe, healthy and secure environment away from<br />
home. Our three year old curriculum gives each child an opportunity for growth in all<br />
areas of a child’s development. The 3 year old class is full of fun and frolic, they spend<br />
lot of time watching, observing, and imitating. Here at <strong>3D</strong> we encourage our children to<br />
explore, create, imagine, and enjoy the day in a theme based classroom.<br />
We begin our day with simple routine like circle time, music and movement and story<br />
time. Then move on to our independent and/or teacher directed activities such as Art<br />
Activities, Play dough, Water Table, Large Motor Activities, Dramatic Play, Language<br />
Arts, Math, Science, Fine Motor Activities, Reading Center, Block Building and Small<br />
