Program for Three Year Olds

At the private preschool program our Little Gate School in New Orleans - our threes play in ways that enhance future mastery of specific skills. They engage in fine motor and language games that prepare them for writing and letter recognition.

Our teachers observe social interactions and support, model and practice problem solving skills. Three year olds are developmentally ready for increased critical thinking opportunities through their classroom projects and enrichment programs.

Our children are served a healthy morning snack provided by the school's dining services. Their day includes family-style, lunch time followed by an approximate two hour rest time in their classroom. Starting in August 2023, the school is partnering with SAGE Dining Services, and all of our families (except for those in the infant program) will participate. We will no longer offer an "opt in" service for our students, which allows us to offer a wider variety of healthy food choices and complete meals, all prepared on site, by scratch, by our personal chef. We provide a daily afternoon snack following rest time.
