Shorashim 3 y/o prog
Curriculum
The curriculum is theme based, age appropriate and addresses the developmental needs of all children. Since children at this age are inquisitive and exploratory, our classroom is organized with learning centers that offer the children the opportunity to explore and investigate through “play”. It is through play that children create their own meaning, develop language, resolve problems, acquire skills and concepts, learn to socialize, make decisions, question, evaluate and discover. Our curriculum provides children with activities in reading and math readiness, music and movement, dramatic play, block play and sand and water play. Ample opportunities are provided for children to develop their large and fine motor skills.
