Prekindergarten 3 is for children who are 3 years old on or before Sept. 1 of the school year when they are attending Pre-K.

Children spend a full day in a safe and nurturing environment. PreK3 enhances language and communication skills, and supports cognitive, physical, social and emotional development. Guided by the Florida Learning and Developmental Standards, PreK3 provides activities in literacy, language, science, social studies, math, health and safety, art and music. Classes are staffed by a certified teacher and associate or two CDAs. Classes are blended to include students with exceptional student education services. Follow your child’s development using the THREES Child Development Checklist & Tips booklet. To prepare your child for PreK3, visit our Early Childhood Education resources page.
