Extended Day for Threes, Young Fours, Fours, and Fives

This optional extension to the class day is offered to our Threes, Young Fours, Fours, and Fives students on the days they attend their regular class. In this class the students will eat lunch, listen to books read aloud, participate in simple centers like lacing, sorting, pattern making, and counting, further their social skills by playing with other students, and learn how to apply age appropriate biblical truths into their daily lives. Concepts of sharing, friendliness, listening, and trying your best will all be reinforced in a fun and loving and engaging environment.
