Thrilling 3s

Three Year Old Program ( click her for supply list )

St. Catherine's Three Year Old Program has been developed to give children at this very pivotal year more depth into key developmental areas of learning. This program will begin to introduce the visual recognition, formation and phonetics of all letters in a creative and fun manner. Numbers and simple math concepts are developed with hands on activities and manipulatives.

The area of science will be explored with weekly science themes and activities. Science will be enhanced further with monthly classes from Science Excitement Inc.

These Threes classes will have a weekly reader by Time Magazine that will enrich the themes throughout the year and open up avenues about the people and places around their community and world.

The spiritual needs of the 3s will expand upon the basics of the Catholic faith by reciting grace before meals, attending bible class, and beginning to learn the Sign of the Cross, Hail Mary, and The Lord’s Prayer.  Monthly religious themes will also be used that include Saints, The Ten Commandments, and Bible stories from the Old and New Testament.

Physically the 3s will continue to progress in their gross motor skills through additional movement class time as well as playground activities and classroom games.

We will further the emotional / social development of each child through interactive group activities that will develop their independence, confidence, and interpersonal skills.

Finally the 3s curriculum will extend the child’s learning experiences through centers that encompass individual modes of learning, such as verbal, logical, scientific, and artistic.

All of this, plus daily art, weekly music and movement, Bible and Library time make learning fun and give these three year olds a strong foundation for a true love of learning.
