The 3's program is designed to encourage development of social skills such as making friends, playing cooperatively, and communicating with peers and adults. Colors, shapes, numbers and letters are explored through games, songs and art. Free-choice time allows them to practice independence, decision-making, cooperation and problem-solving skills. Activity and art centers encourage imaginative play, exploration, creativity and development of fine motor skills. Daily 'jobs' are rotated to help the children build self-esteem and develop a sense of responsibility and control in the classroom.

The focus of our 4's program is preparation for kindergarten. This includes reinforcing social skills such as cooperation, taking turns in a group, conflict resolution and making friends. Four-year olds are ready for letter and number recognition, writing of letters and numbers, phonemic awareness, sorting and classifying. These skills and concepts are learned through a combination of free choice time and small/large group activities. Free choice time encourages independent thinking, decision-making, problem-solving, initiative, imagination, and creativity. Teacher led instruction during large group activities (circle time) and small group activities (projects) help to refine skills such as following directions, fine motor skills, and verbal communication.
