Level 3 Curriculum (3.5 - 5 years old)
This curriculum is designed for active, energetic, enthusiastic, and imaginative children ages 3.5 to 5. Level 3 classes encourage socialization, sharing, and participating in group activities.
Class Structure: 16 classes in a semester; two semesters/units for 32 classes total
Class Length: 45 minute class; caregiver attends the first 5-10 minutes and the last 10 minutes of class
What to Expect in Class:
- Pretend Play: Pretend play activities are integrated with music, vocal development, storytelling, listening, movement, and literacy aspects of each class. When based upon a child’s real life experiences, pretend play helps develop language, sensory, motor, and cognitive skills.
- Musical Variety and Singing: Activities include a mixture of musical genres and styles and provide a setting for children to explore their many voices and to use a “singing voice.” Singing helps with memory and recall, physical development, creativity, and socialization.
- Storytelling and Literacy: Each class is built on the development of a story, so you’ll hear preschoolers search for the word to say what they mean and try to keep up with their busy minds, emerging wants, needs, likes, and dislikes.
- Parent Involvement: Preschoolers are learning to be self-sufficient in a group setting of peers, while many times still needing the emotional security provided by a parent. The preschooler experiences both in a Level 3 class. Plus the At Home Materials ensures the learning continues at home with each child’s best teacher—the parent/caregiver!
