3 YEAR OLDS | Wesley Day Care

3 YEAR OLDS

Our 3-year-old class is the largest of our groups with a maximum capacity of 17 students. This class is designed as a step between the 2-year-old room and the 4–5-year-old room. Our curriculum topics are consistent throughout the center however, altered to meet the developmental and physical needs of each age group. Our 3-year-old students stay busy learning through short group times, art and skills projects, and guided play to encourage healthy physical, mental, and social development.
