Threes & Fours
Building a Strong Foundation for Kindergarten and Beyond
Three-year-olds are eager learners, full of questions, and ready to take big steps in their growth. At E and V, our Threes Program builds on their natural curiosity with hands-on activities that encourage exploration, creativity, and problem-solving.
We focus on developing strong communication skills by introducing new vocabulary, encouraging storytelling, and fostering conversations. Our program also promotes social confidence helping children form friendships, cooperate in group activities, and practice empathy.
From art projects to science experiments, music, and outdoor play, every day is filled with opportunities to strengthen fine and gross motor skills while sparking a love for learning. We also begin introducing early literacy and number concepts in a fun, engaging way, preparing them for preschool success.
