Three Years Old
Younger and older threes
(Fireflies/Frogs)
Angels Academy’s specially designed program for three-year-olds provides a wealth of experiences to enhance your child’s positive self image, sense of independence, ability to interact with others, cognitive growth, and intellectual curiosity. We strongly encourage the development of creative capabilities. A new world opens up to children when they start to master their God-given skills such as walking, talking, coordination, learning, and interaction. We introduce them to language, math, science, and social skills on a level that is encouraging and fun, capturing the imagination of an active, curious three year old. Children are given adequate opportunities to interact with teachers and peers, inspiring their love for learning.
