Preschool 3s

Preschool 3s students engage in collaborative art

The Preschool 3s program at St. Mark’s is designed to engage young learners in the world around them. They continue to learn through play, and there is a focus on social emotional learning. During this year, these little Lions practice managing big feelings, impulse control, conflict resolution, turn taking, and expressive language. They gain more independence and work on developing empathy. Through thematic units, students increase their language development, participate in storytelling, develop number concepts, science skills, and a beginning sense of self and their community. This is a year of expansive exploration, development, and growth!

Preschool 3s Curriculum

Explorers participate in a modified version of Spanish, Religion, Music and Library classes. They will attend PE class weekly to practice and develop gross motor skills. Seekers participate in Spanish, Library, Religion, Music, and Movement. 

In the fall, our Explorers and Seekers will join older students in attending Primary School Chapel.
