The Three Year Old

 Activities in our curriculum are designed to maximize each child's individual growth by introducing a balance of intellectual, social, emotional, and physical activities. The explorations of early learning skills include the areas of dramatic play, science and art. Emphasis is placed on cooperative play as children practice their understanding of socially appropriate behavior.
The main emphasis for the three year old program is on social development. Opportunities for the child's growth and development are provided to:

Allow the children to feel positive and secure in an environment away from home.

Assist the children in communication skills, relationships with others and cooperative play.

Introduce a developmentally appropriate variety of preschool skills such as counting numbers to ten, shapes, colors, first name recognition, letter recognition, glue and scissor use.

Allow the children to develop at their individual pace of learning.

While children are learning, Easton Country Day School offers a secure and loving environment with established routines and schedules that fosters the development of the whole child.
