Our preschool program for three year olds in Mt. Laurel and Lumberton, NJ, the Owls, offers children between the ages of 3-4 the opportunity to explore and investigate the exciting and diverse world around them – all while practicing cooperative play skills, investigative methods and conflict resolution. Our caring teachers encourage developmental growth and gently guide each child along their own unique learning path. Our well-designed, play-based curriculum supports learning throughout the areas of physical, social, emotional, science, math, arts, music, language and literacy.
Classroom learning centers reinforce concepts such as:
-
- Sorting
- Classifying
- Matching
- Counting
- Writing
- Identifying
- Creating
Dry erase tables and markers allow children to practice writing in a fun, colorful and creative way. Teacher guided science discussions often involve hands-on experiments and our approach to art goes far beyond coloring sheets. We pride ourselves on making learning an adventure!
