Growing Into the Next Classroom
As your child grows, so do their opportunities to learn and explore! When your child transitions to a new classroom at SP3C, families will need to complete a few updated forms to help us prepare for this exciting next step.

Learning, Growing & Connecting
We create engaging, child-centered environments where children are encouraged to play, explore, experiment, and discover. Along the way, our educators support each child’s social and emotional growth by building confidence, independence, communication skills, emotional awareness, and positive relationships with others.
Supervision
Children in the Center are supervised at all times: in classrooms, hallways, bathrooms, outdoors, etc. Staff are responsible for the safety in their classroom and are required to always be within sight and hearing. Staff are to be moving around the classroom and visible to parents upon entering the classroom.
