3-Year Old Class
As children adjust to the three-year old preschool experience, a major focus is on fostering
developmental milestones.  Literature, seasonal themes, scientific exploration, art, cooperative play,
and development of oral communication are all emphasized.

“We were a bit concerned about sending our shy son to preschool.  
We shared our concerns with [the teacher], so she was prepared
for a few difficult days in the beginning.  Our son, however,
started off the year without any trouble, thanks to [his teacher],
and he has had a marvelous time this entire year.” – Sarah and
Aaron, parents

In accordance with State of Ohio regulations this class has a
maximum of 12 students.  With a teacher and two parent helpers in
the class we provide an exceptional number of adults per children.  
This class meets for two and a half hours two times a week.  
Children who are at least 3 years old by September 30th and are
fully toilet trained are eligible for this class.
