Imagination. Friendship. Foundations for Learning.

By age three, children are more independent, imaginative, and socially aware. The PK3 class channels this energy into meaningful learning through play-based exploration and rich social experiences.

What Will Your Child Do?

Threes are eager to belong, to understand the world around them, and to assert their own ideas. They engage in more complex pretend play, show increased interest in peers, and thrive with routines that offer both structure and flexibility.
Conflict resolution, empathy, and personal responsibility are all key parts of the PK3 experience.
