The two most important concepts that children in this age group will learn are self-esteem and cooperative play. During the school year, our class will also be learning how to follow directions and share toys. We will take turns and participate in all classroom activities. The children will learn many vital tasks that will help prepare them to advance to the next level in school. We will help them to be successful in all aspects of school.
