Three's
Parents of three year olds know this age group loves to move and explore. We encourage this behavior as students experiment with multiple activities and educational modalities. Through a variety of small and large group activities, and center-based activities, children learn with proven brain-based techniques.

- Gross motor skills- describes the manner in which this age group controls body movements, demonstrates coordination and balance, and expresses creativity through movement
