Three-year-olds are imaginative, curious, and increasingly independent—often declaring, “I can do it myself!” In PK3, we nurture this growing autonomy within a warm, responsive environment where children feel safe to take risks, test boundaries, and express themselves.

At this stage, play becomes more associative as children begin forming friendships and learning to collaborate and negotiate. Our teachers gently guide their curiosity through imaginative play, early storytelling, open-ended projects, and rich conversations that support social-emotional growth and emotional vocabulary. Emerging literacy is fostered through meaningful exposure to books, symbols, and storytelling—deepening their understanding that language carries meaning.
Classrooms come alive with creativity and connection, as children explore cause and effect, develop fine motor skills, and engage in symbolic thinking—where blocks become castles and paint tells a story. Teachers facilitate rather than direct, trusting in each child’s ability to construct meaning through exploration and play.

Focus areas: Social negotiation, emotional vocabulary, cause-effect exploration, symbolic play, early project work, fine motor development, self-help skills
