3-Year-Old Programs
Overview
At Nottinghill our goal is to meet every child’s individual needs by being sensitive to each child’s personality and growth development. Children have the opportunity to learn through play with a variety of play areas to support learning, complimented by our daily circle time. Our goal is for your child to develop their self-esteem and confidence to equip them for their future education.
We offer two programs for 3-year-olds: 3AM and 3PM. Classes run from September to June.
Please note: Program offering and class sizes are subject to change based on COVID-19 re-opening guidelines.
- All activities and learning are structured around weekly themes
- Teaching children essential skills through daily educational circles, calendar review and creative activities
- Letters and number recognition through hands-on learning tools
- Teaching literacy through Jolly Phonics, a fun and child centered approach to teaching literacy through phonics; with actions for each of the letter sounds, the multi-sensory method is very motivating for children
