3-DAY PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

For children 3¼ to 4½ years of age by September 1st
M, W, F / 9:00-11:30AM

Children learn through play, therefore the focus of the 3-Day Class is to provide the appropriate play in which children can develop their social, cognitive, and emotional selves, along with further mastering their fine and gross motor skills. Building a child’s self esteem is also central to the SJPPNS philosophy. Self esteem and the ability to learn are interdependent. The 3-Day curriculum supports that philosophy.

In order to support the developmental growth of children, the 3-Day Class offers activities in the areas of Science/Sensory, Math, Art, Blocks, Literacy, Story Telling, Kitchen, Dramatic and Outdoor play. We encourage exploration and experimentation in all these areas in order to build an early love of learning, the foundation for future learning. The class also provides a variety of field trips and classroom presentations to support some of the activities offered in the classroom.

The circle times at SJPPNS are designed to teach, share and provide music and movement activities. It is an opportunity for the teacher to begin to work on sitting, listening, raising hands, and group interaction skills. It is also a time to learn how to respect others when it is their time to share. Some children who leave the three day program will go on to kindergarten; therefore, focusing of self-regulation skills is a critical part of group time.

Social development is a very important part of the 3-Day Class. At this age the children begin to form friendships, and by the end of the class, there are some solid relationships formed amongst the children. This is the age where playing with other children supersedes playing with adults. Children work cooperatively in groups, or one-on-one, to engage in imaginary play and to achieve a goal.
