The most important things that your child should learn at this age are often not measured on paper and charts. The "world" of school is a whole new adventure for your preschooler. Three year old's need to learn how to get along in a group without mom there. They need to discover all the things that they can do by themselves and grow in independence. They need to learn to share and take turns even
when they don't want to. And how to communicate using words, not actions. The three year old's curriculum is based on units of study such as: self, family, safety, community helpers, seasons, animals and other countries. Four year old's need to reinforce all of the social skills learned the year before, or for new students, learn them for the first time. Teachers of the four year old's classes strive very hard to instill the ability to follow the rules and group directions, as these are the most important skills that your child needs to do well in kindergarten. The four year old curriculum uses the alphabet as a guide. Activities are centered around a different letter each week. Holiday units are also covered. Children are introduced to letter recognition and letter sounds. They are given the opportunity to write letters. Our curriculum has been approved and meets the standards for Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten by the state of Florida.
