Thinking & discovery
Compare colors and shapes, count in play, and explore what happens when materials change.
All programs
Around age 3
Preschool / PK3
Preschool invites children to become curious learners and caring classmates. Play gives new meaning to words, numbers, and the world around them.
How children grow here
Four areas of growth
Social & emotional growth
Practice joining play, identifying feelings, and solving small conflicts with support.
Physical development
Strengthen hand control through drawing and play dough; develop balance through active play.
Language & communication
Retell familiar stories, ask questions, sing rhymes, and notice letters in meaningful places.
A simple discovery: a pretend grocery store brings counting, conversation, cooperation, and imagination together.
A closer look at this program
A classroom full of “why,” “how,” and “let’s pretend”
At around three, children are discovering how their ideas connect with other people. Stories, art, pretend play, and hands-on exploration give them reasons to talk, count, move, imagine, and work together.
Connecting home and classroom
Ask, “Tell me about your picture,” instead of guessing what it is. Count everyday objects together and leave room for your child's questions.
Let's talk during your tour
Ask how teachers support friendships, emerging language, classroom routines, and the transition into preschool.
What learning can look like
Early literacy and conversation
Talk about pictures, anticipate what might happen in a story, and play with rhyming words. Connect print to familiar names and everyday classroom objects.
Math in meaningful moments
Count materials during play, sort by a shared feature, compare sizes, and describe shapes. Concrete objects make early math ideas easier to explore.
Art and fine-motor discovery
Use crayons, paper, and other age-appropriate materials to experiment with marks, colors, and designs. The process builds hand control and encourages personal expression.
Friendship and imaginative play
Practice joining a game, sharing materials, and explaining an idea. Pretend scenarios give children opportunities to understand roles and another person's point of view.
One activity. Many growing skills.
In a drawing activity, children choose colors, control the crayon, and describe what they made. At a shared table, they also practice conversation and using materials alongside friends.
