Creative Preschool (Ages 3–4)

Preschool activities

Curriculum Overview

Our Creative Preschool program is intentionally crafted for children aged 3 to 4 years old, an age characterized by blossoming independence, rapid language acquisition, and enthusiastic social curiosity. Through guided play-based projects, sensory discovery stations, and supportive social modeling, we help children articulate their ideas, express empathy, and cultivate an organic love of learning.


What Children Learn & Master

Early Language & Pre-Reading

Story sequencing, phonemic rhyme games, expanding sentence structures, and recognition of letter sounds.

Sensory Math & Spatial Sense

Counting tactile pebbles, sorting shapes by color and size, recognizing repeating patterns, and comparative weight.

Fine Motor & Creative Expression

Finger painting, clay manipulation, safety scissor cutting, and collaborative mural making.

Social-Emotional Confidence

Learning to share materials, identifying feelings using mood dials, listening attentively to peers, and taking turns.
