TWOS PLUS PRESCHOOL ACADEMY (2.5-3 YEARS)
2 Days Per Week | Tue & Thu
This program will provide a comfortable and positive beginning to prepare your young three-year-old for their first
experience away from their primary caregiver. Our goal is to give your child the skill set they require for their next
preschool level. Students may wear diapers or pull-ups to class. However, our teachers are not responsible for
changing diapers. Caregivers must be able to return to class to assist their child with restroom needs.
THREES PRESCHOOL ACADEMY (3-4 YEARS)
2 Days Per Week | Tue/Thu, 3 Days Per Week | Mon/Wed/Fri
All classes guide students toward independence by encouraging socialization and individual problem-solving skills.
Our curriculum is theme/literacy-based and concentrates on shape/color recognition, the alphabet, numbers, and
counting. Fine motor skills are honed during our free choice play and project time. Our Spanish Enrichment program
(*SE) is for those choosing the Dual Language path offered in our surrounding school districts. The curriculum
mirrors our traditional classes; however, students receive instruction in English and basic Spanish. All children must
be completely toilet trained - no pull-ups.
PRE-K PRESCHOOL ACADEMY (4-5 YEARS)
3 Days per Week | Mon/Wed/Fri, 4 Days Per Week | Mon – Thur
We offer a themed curriculum that incorporates the kindergarten preparation skills desired by kindergarten
teachers of our local school districts, including the Jolly Phonics curriculum. We include sight word recognition,
alphabetic/phonetic recognition, science, and math, including counting, patterning, graphing, basic additions, and
subtraction. Pre-K Spanish Enrichment (*SE) builds on our Threes Preschool Academy Spanish Enrichment students’
knowledge. The curriculum mirrors our traditional classes; however, students receive instruction in English and
basic Spanish. All children must be completely toilet trained - no pull-ups.
