What Matters Most at This Stage?
As your child steps into more independence, we focus on:
Between ages two and three, your child transforms from a curious toddler into a confident, capable little learner. They’re developing opinions (“I do it!”), building friendships, and soaking up new vocabulary by the minute. At this stage, we nurture that growth with patient guidance, purposeful play, and a lot of love.
As your child steps into more independence, we focus on:
Balance and coordination are getting sharper, and your child is now more in control of their body. They’re running, climbing, jumping—and eager to try new things.
Your child is a natural problem solver, learning through experimentation, repetition, and pretend play.
They’re talking more—and asking a lot of questions. You may hear full sentences, storytelling, and the first signs of humor or negotiation.
Your child is learning how to be a friend, navigate conflict, and express feelings more intentionally.
By this age, children are ready to take more ownership of their day. We create meaningful opportunities for them to practice and grow.
By age three, your child is becoming more independent and aware of their environment. They are learning to make safe choices and understand the consequences of their actions. We continue to reinforce safety rules, such as staying in designated play areas and using toys safely.
Hygiene practices are solidified, with children learning to wash their hands independently and follow basic health guidelines like covering their mouth when they cough or sneeze. We also focus on the importance of healthy habits, including balanced meals, active play, and proper rest, as they begin to develop routines that support their growing bodies.
Pacesetter Academy is arguably the best Preschool in the Miramar/Pembroke Pines area. My child has been attending this school for about a year and a half and his knowledge base has increased tremendously. I also appreciate them remaining open during this pandemic, allowing me to continue to work and my child to continue in his learning growth.
Our approach, rooted in the renowned HighScope Curriculum, nurtures young minds by fostering a love of learning through active engagement, independent exploration, and comprehensive growth.
At Pacesetter, we recognize that every child is unique. Our curriculum adapts to each child's developmental needs, allowing them to explore and grow at their own pace in a way that feels just right for them.
PK3 is a year of growth, and we balance meaningful routines with the freedom to explore. Our structured activities guide learning, while opportunities for open-ended play foster creativity and independence.
We cultivate a strong sense of community where children feel safe to share, collaborate, and express themselves. Our nurturing classroom environment is designed to encourage connection, social growth, and emotional resilience.
We maintain an open line of communication with parents, keeping them informed about their child's progress, milestones, and day-to-day activities. We also provide consistent support for families navigating milestones like potty training and social skills development.
At Pacesetter, your three-year-old is more than a student—they’re a valued member of a community. We celebrate every achievement, no matter how big or small, and offer the support necessary for them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
