Designed to develop a natural and life long excitement for learning, our three year old students learn how to build early writing and literacy skills, engage in concrete mathematical experiences and learn how to make friends. This is done as the children listen to stories, re-tell events, and perform dramatic play with puppets and props. Hands-on activities provide opportunities for exploration of concepts such as classification, serration, spatial relationships and numbers. A variety of center play areas provide for the child’s personal exploration. Building with blocks, pretend play in the home living area, painting, constructing with different materials, exploring books, and working with manipulative materials enhance the child’s small motor and problem solving skills. The teacher selects a weekly theme to develop these skills and sends home a copy of the lesson plan each week. We also provide creative, well-equipped classrooms, field trips and special events.
Spanish Language
The second most widely spoken language in the United States is Spanish. Being exposed to a second language can be a benefit to your child as he or she grows. Provide your child with a great start at Northern Virginia Academy as they begin their learning adventure. We utilize “Trampoline Spanish” in our schools. Children learn Spanish vocabulary words through songs, games and dance.
