3 Year Old Program

The three year old program at Good Samaritan is for children who will turn 3 by December 2 and are well on the way to independent toileting. The teacher/student ratio is 1/12. The group size is no larger than 12.

Our 3’s program begins introducing more structure. Children eat, sleep and do activities as a group. Activities are always encouraged not required, however, at this age we do expect the children will participate in most activities that are planned for the whole group. Our 3’s are offered rich experiences in art, language, cognitive, social and sensory areas. The teacher sets the learning environment and then allows the children to explore activities independently, all the while observing and extending activities.

Children in the 3’s program are introduced to literacy, math, and science concepts through hands on play activities. The goal of our 3’s program is to provide a strong base of social skills and cognitive skills that will lead to success in our Pre-K program.

At Good Samaritan, we believe that our primary responsibility is to provide a safe and trusting environment for children and families. Please come to visit Good Samaritan to see if our school is right for your family.
