Transitional Groups I and II

These groups are for children age 3, who need a little bit of extra help with going potty. These classes include a wide variety of activities. They study the alphabet, learn to spell their names, numbers one through ten (recognition and counting skills), colors, shapes, days of the week and months of the year. There are many "hands-on" activities, such as pegs, blocks, play-doh, shaving cream, and puzzles. Also, we discuss and have activities revolving around the various holidays. The children enjoy singing, playing musical instruments, and flannel board stories. These groups work on following directions, sharing skills and good manners. We read books every day and finish the morning with free play. When the children leave these groups, they are ready for the regular preschool program with the above five rotating groups.
