My name is Sierra Gwaltney, and I am Hannah Siekmann. We are the co-teachers for the Three's Class. Welcome to our class! Light of Christ Preschool offers a Half-day and Full-day 3-year-old program with potty training assistance. Click here for half-day and extended-day program options.
Your child will learn so much about the world around them, how to get along with others, and what responsibility looks like for a three-year-old. A combination approach is taken, where developing social-emotional skills and contributing to the classroom are just as important as academics.
Our curriculum includes two essential areas: Social-Emotional Learning (teaching children to recognize/express their feelings, wants/needs, self-regulate when upset, etc.) and Independent Life Skills (independently using the bathroom, getting dressed, putting our things away, etc.). Establishing positive character traits, including responsibility, is vital for becoming productive, caring adults.
Academics are introduced through hands-on activities incorporating fine motor skills, gross motor skills, creative expression, literacy skills, math skills, and science exploration. The children will also hear simple stories from the Bible, and teachers will make connections back to God's love for them throughout the day.
By the end of the year, children are ready to move on to the 4-year-old program.
