Three and four-year-olds arrive in our Intermediate classroom with something powerful: the capacity to wonder, question, and form their own ideas about the world. Our proprietary Links to Learning curriculum is designed to meet that energy with the rigor it deserves. We translate children’s natural drive to understand into research-backed experiences that build lasting literacy and mathematical foundations. Under the guidance of our educational experts, students develop the phonological awareness, early numeracy skills, and the social-emotional capabilities that define true kindergarten readiness. Every experience in our classroom is purposeful; every interaction an investment in the learner they are becoming. Schedule a Tour What Will My Child Experience in Preschool?

Through high-quality literature and intentional conversation, our teachers guide children into phonological awareness, character analysis, and literary discussion, building confident, expressive communicators. Mathematical Thinking Our Links to Learning curriculum introduces three and four-year-olds to mathematical tools that build reasoning skills. Children work with graphs and number lines, sort and compare quantities, and develop number sense. Our instructors design these experiences to make mathematics concrete, accessible, and engaging from the start. Social-Emotional Learning Friendships become more meaningful at this age, and so does the work of building them. Our students practice emotional regulation and collaboration, developing the interpersonal skills that are every bit as essential to kindergarten readiness as literacy and math. Wellness In our Links to Learning Intermediate program, children develop fine motor skills through purposeful hands-on activities. Movement experiences like stretching, running, and dancing build strength, balance, and the confidence that allows them to engage fully in every corner of the classroom. Creative Expression Art, music, and imaginative play develop voice, perspective, and the cognitive flexibility that transfers across every area of learning. Students also explore the artists and musicians who have shaped our world, inspiring them to see creative expression as both a skill and a lifelong practice. Scientific Exploration Three and four-year-olds are endlessly curious about how things work. Our curriculum gives that curiosity structure, guiding children through hands-on observation, simple predictions, and age-appropriate experimentation that spark a love of discovery and lay the groundwork for scientific thinking. Citizens of the World Links to Learning introduces children to the diversity of people, families, and cultures that make up our world. Through intentional lessons and inclusive conversation, children learn to appreciate what makes each person unique and to approach differences with openness and curiosity.
