3K For All

3K for All provides free full-day, high-quality early childhood education for three-year-olds. 3K for All, learning with each other through play helps support children’s social and emotional development, language and literacy, cognition, and even physical development.

A typical day in a 3K for All classroom would follow a schedule similar to the one below:

  • School staff would welcome children and families to build connections upon arrival.
  • The children then eat breakfast as a group, giving them opportunities to develop their language skills through conversations with fellow classmates and teachers.
  • Then the class moves to a community-building time like listening to read-alouds and singing songs.
  • Children spend a large portion of the day in “centers”—workstations like the art center, science center, math and manipulatives, dramatic play, and blocks are all centers where they make their own choices while exploring, creating, and asking questions.
  • During the 3K day, children also have gross motor play in our playground and eat breakfast, lunch, and snack.  Children will also have a 60-minute daily rest time.

Engaging in these routines helps children learn how to take care of themselves.
