A pre-k program for 3-year-olds.
At this stage of development your child is eager to explore and learn new things! It’s important that they have opportunities to grow into themselves, to learn their interests and pursue them. That’s why we make every effort to encourage and develop that curiosity in our 3K Preschool program.

3K Preschool Curriculum
In our 3K Preschool program, your child will enjoy participating in dramatic and sensory play, using their imagination, and developing their motor skills as they grow more independent each day. A major part of your child’s growth at this stage is the development of their character. We encourage this by continuing our Kids Junction Bible Curriculum into the 3K Preschool programming. Developing and implementing age-appropriate curriculum with teachable moments is our main focus.
To assure consistency throughout your child’s education, we continue to consult the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS) to make sure they’re hitting developmental milestones as well as the Frog Street Threes curriculum. Attending 3K Preschool can aid them in this developmental process as it exposes them to educational content and social interaction they wouldn’t otherwise encounter.
