3K Program
Metrokids Preschool offers the three-year-old a specially designed and enriching experience in a caring and loving environment. Early learning has been shown to positively impact long term school success and school readiness. At Metrokids Preschool, we utilize research-based curricula and a state-recognized framework which ensures that your child is receiving the best education possible. The children’s day is filled with busy explorations, investigations, and discoveries. Children also express themselves through dramatic play, art, music, yoga, dance, and movement. Our students enjoy exploring math and number concepts, technology, and coding, through the use of age-appropriate materials that are fun and engaging. Children begin using early logic skills as they organize, sort, count, build, and sequence. They explore science through activities that involve analysis, experimentation, investigation, and critical thinking. The Metrokids Preschool teacher designs activities that have specific goals and intentional outcomes for your child. Children develop greater STEM thinking and build strong conceptual skills. Activities are incorporated throughout the day which are play-based and fun. The classroom becomes transformed into a wondrous place that contains exciting new activities, new objects, interesting adventures, and planned events. All of this occurs when meeting new friends, problem solving, learning to play and cooperating with each other.
Children demonstrate a love of reading and writing using their growing literacy skills, nurtured during read alouds, shared readings, and writing. Children use language every day to share, communicate, and interact with friends. Our teachers are carefully trained in language modeling, feedback loops, and advanced language to help children develop a greater fluency and command of language. Our children begin to develop a rich vocabulary and use it on a daily basis in everyday conversations. They discover new ways to express themselves in words and ideas. As a result, their social experiences become easier and more manageable. The print-rich environment allows for the spoken word to be written throughout the room for an environment rich in vocabulary and expression.
We facilitate the brain’s natural neural growth with carefully planned and developmentally appropriate activities. Children develop motor skills and coordination while running, jumping, hopping, skipping, throwing and catching in the gym. They make friends and truly enjoy the company of others while playing and joyfully working together throughout the day. Days are filled with learning, joy, and fun!
