We currently have two 3 year old classes at Immanuel Lutheran Christian Academy Preschool.  They are divided at random, and one is not more advanced than the other.  Both teachers provide a challenging yet fun environment for all 3 year olds!  The children are playing in structured centers, completing art projects, science experienments, listening to and acting out Bible stories, participating in weekly Chapel services with all children (2 years through 9th grade), learning independence, and the fundamentals of Spanish, Sign Language, and Handwriting (using the Handwriting Without Tears program).  They go to weekly P.E. and Music classes, have special Language Groups with therapists from TherapySource for Kids, and participate in various servant/giving events throughout the year.  They are working on buttoning and unbuttoning, zipping and unzipping, and many more basic life skills. 

The teachers prepare lesson plans according to week, that are always posted for you to see.  Their doors are always open if you have more questions!

The ratio for our 3 year old class is 1:12.  We have two separate classes with 12 (at the most) children in them.  By the time the children enter the 3 year old program, we ask that they be completely potty trained.  In order to be in the 3 year old class, we generally follow the Broken Arrow Public Schools deadline of September 1.  They are eligible for the 3 year old class if they turn 3 by then.

The teachers for our two 3 year old classes are:

	Mrs. Sarah Sankey has worked at ILCAP since March of 2008.  She is here daily from 8:30 to 4:30 with her Super 3's class.  She graduated from Concordia University in Nebraska and moved here where her husband also works as a middle school teacher at ILCA.  Sarah has her Child Development Associated degree and attends Immanuel Lutheran Church.  She just had her first child in July of 2009, who also attends nursery here at ILCAP.
	Miss Brianne Begitschke has worked with us since August of 2008.  She is here daily from 7:30am to 3:00pm with her Incredible 3's.  Miss Bri graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a bachelor's degree in Special Education.  She began at ILCAP as an afternoon aide, and began teaching the Incredible 3's this school year.  She has since obtained her Child Development Associate degree.  She attends Trinty Lutheran Church.
	Miss Leanna Albaqamy has worked at ILCA Preschool since January of 2010.  She works in the afternoon with the 3 year olds from 1:00pm-6:00pm.  She is currently working on her college degree in Early Childhood Education.  She is attending The Bridge church and has worked with the children in her Sunday School program at church.  She is a wonderful addition to our staff and loves our children here!
