Spend just a little time in our Threes Classes and you will see children experiencing the world with inquisitive eyes – questioning and learning at every turn. 

DAILY SCHEDULE FOR THREE YEAR OLDS

Our 3-year-olds explore the world around them through a theme-based curriculum with play, art, exploration, and discovery at the core of our day here at Riverview. We enjoy a curriculum rich in story and creativity. We center our day around kindness and caring for our friends and we adopt a positive learning environment celebrating everyone’s successes and encouraging all. Our 3-year-olds fill their learning environment with laughter and joy reverberating around the school!

Examples of themes in our 3’s class includes Farm, Alphabet, Lizards and Amphibians, Spring, Transportation.
