Pre-K 3 Program

How? Who? What? As our three year olds’ hearts, minds and bodies develop, an insatiable curiosity develops as well. At Days Of Wonder, we feed that curiosity every day.

Happy talk

Discovering language is a joy for three year olds. They love new words and never miss opportunities to expand their vocabularies. Labels are on all the things children use every day (everything from toothbrushes to teddy bears). Threes learn to listen and repeat rhymes.

Number games

At three, children begin to become aware that things are related in terms of number and amount. At Days of Wonder, they learn about math by doing. They sing counting songs and play matching games, classify and match sets and shapes.

The Buddy System

At two, most children play separately, side by side, but at three, children begin to play together. Friends help button each others’ coats. Check on each others’ seedlings. Share a special blanket. As the children plant the seeds of their garden together, special relationships grow.

The goals for our threes are:

  • To Reinforce Problem Solving Skills And Other Skills Taught In Toddlers
  • To Develop Independance
