PEM Preschool – 3-Year-Old Program

PEM’s three-year-old preschool program is an essential introduction to early learning, designed to build the social-emotional and foundational skills necessary for future academic success. Rooted in Minnesota’s Early Learning Standards, this program prioritizes social interaction, self-help skills, and creative expression through hands-on, interactive play.

The curriculums focuses on six key domains: social-emotional skills, approaches to learning, language, literacy, and communications, creativity and arts, cognitive development (math, science, social systems), and physical development. Through music, brain-stimulating activities, stories, and free play, children develop problem-solving abilities, cooperation, and confidence.

Taught by nurturing early childhood professionals, PEM’s three-year-old preschool provides a safe and engaging environment where children two years away from kindergarten gain the skills, independence, and resilience needed for a smooth start to their educational journey.
