Where Learning Begins at 3

Curious minds deserve the right start. Prairie's 3K program is where lifelong learners are made.

3K AT PRAIRIE

For three-year-olds, life is filled with intrigue, exploration, and discovery. In Prairie’s Early School program, we satisfy preschoolers’ insatiable thirst for learning with hands-on opportunities that engage minds, hands, and hearts.

Through special theme projects, field trips, and visits from parents who share their hobbies and careers, we help shape your child into a lifelong learner — while nurturing the values of self-respect, cooperation, and care for others that will carry them forward for years to come.

CURIOSITY IN ACTION

Hands-On Exploration

We encourage our youngest learners to explore and experiment, investigate and ask questions. Through theme projects, field trips, and parent visits, every day brings something new to touch, try, and wonder about.”

MOVE. PLAY. REPEAT.

Two Recesses, Built into Every Day

Young learners need space to move, explore, and reset. With two daily recess periods, students build social skills, develop coordination, and return to the classroom ready to engage and learn.

FULL DAYS | FIVE DAYS

A Consistent Rhythm, Every Week

A consistent, full-week schedule gives children the structure they need to thrive. Each day is thoughtfully designed with hands-on learning, exploration, and play—building routines, confidence, and a true love of learning from the very start.

SPECIALS EVERY WEEK

Spanish, Music & Library — Rotating

Students are introduced to a rich, well-rounded experience beyond the classroom. Rotating specials like Spanish, music, and library spark creativity, build early language skills, and encourage curiosity across disciplines.

ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW

A Two-Year Rotating Curriculum

Our thoughtfully designed two-year cycle of unique units ensures that even if children attend for multiple years, they are always discovering something new. Lessons are hands-on, thematic, and built to engage minds, hands, and hearts.

HOT LUNCH, DAILY

One Less Thing to Worry About

Convenient, nutritious hot lunch options are available each day, making mornings easier for families and ensuring students are fueled for learning and play.

3K & 4K, TOGETHER

Learning Side by Side

Our combined 3 and 4-year-old classrooms create a dynamic learning environment where younger students are inspired by older peers, and older students build confidence through leadership. It’s a natural, community-driven approach that supports both academic and social growth.

TWO ADULTS, EVERY ROOM

Individual Attention, Always

Every classroom is supported by both a lead teacher and a full-time assistant, allowing for individualized attention, stronger relationships, and a supportive environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged.

OUR APPROACH

At Prairie, we believe the early years are about more than academics — they’re about building the whole child. Our master teachers create a warm, safe, and creative environment where three-year-olds develop enduring values alongside a love of learning. Here, your child learns to cooperate and collaborate, to appreciate the work of others, and to see themselves as a capable, confident thinker — from day one.
