Three Year Olds

The three-year-old will receive wider ranges of experiences and an increase in his expressive and receptive language through action work. The students will expand their knowledge of the community, the church, and the world around him. There will be a steady increase in concept development as it applies to pre-math and pre-reading skills. This time is used to help the child move from awareness of self and things in the immediate environment to a concern for others and an increased understanding of God’s love.

Teachers use a variety of teaching methods, which follow and exceed the Georgia Performance Standards and the new Common Core Curriculum, while incorporating Biblical principles and stories.

The daily schedule will include instruction in phonics, reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and Bible. The students will explore the world of reading through a guided reading approach. Students will receive small group instruction at their ability level in reading and phonics, including instruction in short and long vowels. In writing, students will transition from copying words from their environment at the beginning of the year to writing a paragraph about a topic at the end of the year.
