The curriculum for 3K allows for flexibility and creativity and meets the changing needs of each child as they grow and mature. 

The curriculum is theme based and provides an excellent core foundation of skills which will help children to become successful students throughout their academic careers. Students attend special area classes throughout the week. These include art, music, library and Spanish.

We believe that children are active and curious and it is our goal to provide learning experiences that stimulate their intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth. It is not intended, nor is it expected, that every child will master all of these skills.
