Ages 3 years to 3.5 years

 

 

 

Daily Schedule

This classroom is licensed for a maximum of 12 children and 2 teachers.

In the Penguin classroom children make the transition from Parent's Day Out to Preschool. This involves, for many, becoming accustomed to attending school twice a week versus once a week. The two day a week format is beneficial in developing a sense of routine for the children.

This class also begins to offer more structure and academics than in previous classes, while constantly developing vital social skills. The penguin class will focus on intoducing letters and their sounds, through discussion and story time. Fine motor skills such as drawing and cutting, are also developed through art, and teacher directed activities. Opportunities for gross motor skill development are offered daily through physical activity, both indoors and outside on the playground.

Penguins are also given a nap at the end of the day.
