Nurturing Learning in Three- and Four-year-olds

Nurturing Learning in Three- and Four-Year-Olds: Arts and Creativity

During the preschool years, young children blossom in their ability to experiment with new ideas, including new ways of creating with art materials.

Nurturing Learning in Three- and Four-Year-Olds: Language and Literacy

The ages of three and four are busy times for language and literacy learning, including developing the ability to comprehend and tell narratives, becoming much more skilled at conversation, and beginning to understand the mechanics of written language.

Nurturing Learning in Three- and Four-Year-Olds: Play and Music

Play is self-directed, pleasurable, internally motivated activity that children control. How caregivers support it depends on the age of the child.

Nurturing Learning in Three- and Four-Year-Olds: Mathematical and Scientific Thinking

Preschoolers are rapidly developing the mental abilities to think in mathematical and scientific ways in order to explore and understand their favorite topics.
