Three-Year-Old Program

The three-year-old curriculum is presented through thematic units that provide both large and small group shared experiences, as well as an independent exploration. Students are provided academic foundations at his/her own level in an environment that builds confidence, self-esteem, trust, creativity, and intellectual expression. 

Following the High Scope plan-do-review process, students will make plans, carry them out, and reflect on what they have done. This helps children become critical thinkers as they take initiative, solve problems, work with others, and accomplish their goals. Choosing time for students averages an hour in length and is devoted to planning time (what center are you going to and what will you do), work time (time spent in center), and recall time (discuss what they did and learned during work time). Goal planning conferences take place in the fall, progress reports are completed twice a year, and spring conferences wrap up the academic year.
