3K Classroom

 

ZoeTM Room

Our 3K classroom draws on your child’s natural curiosity and desire to make sense of their world and motivates them to become involved in interesting learning activities. Our caring teachers provide many opportunities for the children to learn and work together cooperatively while developing their social skills. The teachers foster these developmental skills at all times by modeling expected behavior, coaching, grouping and redirecting various behaviors.

Kiddie Kare A’Kademie’s customized curriculum has been developed over 29 years to incorporate our scheduled academics (colors, shapes, numbers and phonics). This will keep your child engaged and excited about learning.

Learning phonetic sounds and name recognition are important first steps in pre-reading skills.

Fine motor skills: Eye-hand coordination along with how to hold a pencil, how to hold and cut with scissors and beginning handwriting.

Large motor skills: outdoor recess (2 fenced in age-appropriate playgrounds), parachute, yoga, dance and other group activities allow your child to exert their natural energy while learning from nature and necessary social/emotional skills. It also helps in children learning manners and important interactive skills (sharing, communication and respect).

Our classroom space and materials are organized into interesting learning centers to support your three year olds progressive ability to learn new skills, test things out, and express their ideas and feelings. These classroom centers are set up to encourage children to select activities, engage in hands-on exploration as well as being exposed to many learning experiences.

Daycare

At Kiddie Kare your child’s health and happiness are very important to us. All of our three year old daycare classrooms use their own diffusers throughout their day to keep their classroom cleaner and their kids happier. We use Citrus Fresh oils to disinfect the classrooms and entire school twice daily. We use lavender oils at nap to give your child a calm and serene sleep. We also use Thieves Cleaner to clean and disinfect our floors, tables and toys (all hard surfaces).
