Our Ladybugs, or 3-4's class, continues helping children grow their independence. This class meets three days per week, and caregivers are required to attend one day per week with their child. On the other two days, the child may attend independently or the parent may stay and participate. Free choice time allows a child to pursue his/her interests during pretend play, fine or gross motor activities like playdoh, painting at the easel, sensory activities, or creating games with friends. This class may also incorporate "small group" activities, where children participate in short, seated activities. These activities may include matching letters for his/her name or creating a necklace. A once monthly evening parent education component is required.
