How we empower our little specialists
Turning three is a significant milestone in a child’s life – they become more robust, independent, and their interests begin to take form. Our 3K (3-4 years old) caters precisely to this exciting phase. We gently guide their transition from a primarily family-centric world to becoming active little members of society.
Our 3K curriculum is specifically designed to cater to the unique developmental needs of three-year-olds. The assimilation of information happens subtly and effectively through playful activities – this is a time in a child’s life when learning and fun should be synonymous.
Intellectual development takes center stage in our 3K (3-4 years old). From the age of three, children begin forming a knowledge base that they learn to apply. Our preschool educators facilitate this development process by introducing a variety of topics, from animals and natural phenomena to times of day and popular professions.
Highlighting the Core Elements of Our 3K (3-4 years old)
Welcome to the world of nurturing young minds, where we shine a light on the core elements of our enriching 3K (3-4 years old). Here, we empower our little specialists to explore, learn, and grow through a blend of structured activities and playful engagement.
We understand the unique needs of 3-year-olds. Hence, we have created a balanced regime that blends structured learning and playful activities. This approach allows children to express their energy, emotions, and realize their strengths, all while having fun and developing intellectually.
Our program focuses on nurturing physical abilities in children. From jumping and running to climbing and playing group games, our program ensures children improve their coordination, strength, and overall physical development.
At this tender age, children are introduced to basic logical operations and mathematical concepts. Our program makes these learning experiences fun and intuitive, helping them count, identify primary colors, recognize geometric shapes, and much more.
We facilitate the intellectual development of children by exposing them to diverse knowledge areas. We present them with pets, birds, fruits, seasons, natural phenomena, body parts, professions, and vehicles, laying the groundwork for a rich understanding of the world around them.
The 3K (3-4 years old) is not just about the present; it also sets the stage for future learning. After three years, children are confidently prepared to familiarize themselves with the world, perhaps learning foreign languages, music or dive in into science.
