Approaches to Play and Learning

Our preschool learning program is designed for the growing interests of three-year-olds, our activities encourage children to actively participate in conversations, ask questions, and help one another learn and grow – all in a fun and playful way.

Cognitive Development

Our learning program continues to focus on fostering an early love of learning through playtime lessons that incorporate music and play. Children are learning age-appropriate scientific concepts (e.g., cause and effect), language, and vocabulary as they play with Legos, scales, measuring containers, and number and shape puzzles. Our childhood program provides great learning opportunities in a fun and nurturing environment.

Communication and Language Development

Our three-year-olds are encouraged to develop respect and appreciation for other cultures through weekly Spanish classes taught by an experienced instructor. Children learn foreign language skills through stories, music, and games in immersive, interactive, early childhood education program activities, with a curriculum tailored to preschoolers’ unique needs and increased learning opportunities. The learning program provides a head start for their early language development.

Physical Development

Our three-year-olds have many opportunities to develop their gross motor skills, including plenty of outdoor activities and water play such as pouring water through colanders and chasing bubbles with fly swatters. They are introduced to sports as part of learning about different cultures. Children also learn fun yoga poses that teach them greater control of their body movements while also helping them to identify feelings. Our preschool program provides early childhood education for three-year-olds, offering a comprehensive and diverse learning experience for proper child development.

Social and Emotional Development

We encourage children’s natural quest for independence in daily self-care tasks by allowing them to do for themselves what they can and supporting them as needed. Our early childhood education program offers a rich, meaningful balance of hands-on child-initiated, and teacher-guided learning experiences, providing a nurturing environment for growth and development.

Weekly Language Classes

Each week our fluent language teachers use dynamic delivery to immerse children in fun, engaging, and relevant language lessons using puppets, props, and songs to give early exposure to other cultures. Our three-year-olds develop an early love of learning through fun lessons that incorporate music and playtime in our early childhood education program.

Teaching Independence

We encourage children’s natural quest for independence in daily self-care tasks by allowing them to do for themselves what they can and supporting them as needed. Our three-year-old preschool learning program, which is a part of our early childhood education programs, supports children’s growth and development in all early learning domains through a rich meaningful balance of hands-on child-initiated, and teacher-guided experiences.

Preparing for School

It is never too early to start preparing little minds for kindergarten and beyond. And because Big Blue Marble Academy already makes learning part of play, children in our preschool program are primed to learn concepts that are the building blocks for school readiness. From demonstrating stronger motor skills to growing their vocabulary to understanding shapes and measurements, and being able to respond to the feelings and needs of others. Our three-year-olds are well on their way to the exciting next step in their learning journey. Our childhood program offers a nurturing and stimulating learning environment. Finally, our highly trained childhood education teacher staff plays a vital role in facilitating learning experiences for children in our childcare center locations.
