2 Day Three Years Class

General Description

Three-year-olds are busy and curious. Our goal is to channel these wonderful behaviors and guide them into the world of learning. Classes focus on social interaction, language development, and fine motor and gross motor activities. Class size is limited to 14 (one lead teacher, one assistant teacher). We offer the class at two times on Tuesday and Thursdays: mornings from 9:00am - 11:30am or afternoons from 12:30pm - 3:00pm. Students must be 3 years old to attend. To register, please download a registration form . For tuition policies and rates, see our tuition page .
