Three-year old children obtain an enlarging view of God's world and begin to have more awareness of their place in it. As these experiences increase, social activities take on a larger role in their day-to-day interactions with peers and adults. Children at this age are encouraged to work together, express their needs and wants verbally, and develop negotiation skills. They begin to draw conclusions and develop solutions as they explore and question their surroundings.

Children's attention spans begin to increase and complexity in their play becomes more extensive. Children at this age will begin to enhance their physical and cognitive skills such as alternating feet while using stairs, running, and carrying on conversations using 2-3 sentences.
