Our comprehensive literacy curriculum provides an important educational foundation for each children. In our Threes classroom, children learn sight words, letter sounds, phonics, vowels, consonants, letter blends, and trigraphs (groups of three letters that make a sound, such as -sph- or -eau-). Outside of our centers, trigraphs are rarely taught before first grade.

Our teachers encourage students to grow, learn and develop at their own pace. We do not use rote memorization, testing, or homework. Each student builds a base knowledge of literacy that will benefit them throughout their whole lives.

We teach our children everything from the parts of a plant to the presidents, to the Periodic Table of Elements. Nothing is off-limits in our classrooms, because there’s no limit to what a child can comprehend.

When children graduate, they are ready for the next stage of their education. Elementary school teachers tell us our graduates are some of the most prepared in their classrooms. Our unique learning environment creates successful students who thrive in kindergarten and beyond.
