Three-K Program

Downtown Campus and Gardens Campus

Three-year-olds with the “Let me do it!“ attitude need integrated, hands-on learning experiences. Experimentation and exploration build higher-level thinking, language, math, social and motor skills; threes love fun and challenging experiences. The 3K teachers offer activities to creatively stimulate minds to the highest level possible by partnering with parents to provide a strong spiritual foundation in a loving, nurturing Christ-centered environment.

Our 3-K Preschool Program operates on a set schedule with instructional time beginning at 9:00 AM. School days are busy with circle time, centers, show and tell, Spanish, music classes, etc. This is all before rest time which begins at 12:45 AM. Supplemental planned activities, that are appropriate for this age, continue throughout the entire day.
