K3 & K4

At Divine Redeemer, our three and four-year-old age classes focus on teaching young children the importance of the world around them and how important they are in that world. We want each child to know they have been fearfully and wonderfully created by God and He has a plan for their lives. 

We explore the world by seeing, smelling, hearing, touching, and tasting. It has been proven through research that young children learn best by doing. We use the Creative Curriculum for teaching and Teaching Gold for assessing. Assessment reports are sent home three times a year. 

Young children are egocentric at this age and we introduce them to understanding not only their feelings, but the feelings of others (empathy). Most young children do not know how to get along with others, it is our job to teach them this in a developmentally appropriate way. We use Conscious Discipline in our K3 and K4 program. 

Special Areas for our K3 and K4 include Religion, Spanish, Art, and Music. K3 and K4 children attend mass weekly beginning in January of each year.
