Preschool Classes for the 2021-2022 School Year
Two Year Old Program: 2 days/week 9:00-11:30
This program is designed for students that are two years old, turning three during or after the school year. This program has a heavy focus on a child’s FIRST preschool experience. Children gain independence and confidence through learning to say goodbye and knowing that mom or dad will return shortly. Children learn through songs and fingerplays and hands-on activities that are developmentally appropriate for this age group. A main focus in this program is for students and parents to LOVE their first school experience.
Three Year Old Program: 3 days/week (T-Th) 9:00-11:30
This program is designed for students that are three at the start of the year and will turn four some time during or after the school year. Our three-four year old students have higher expectations, with more emphasis on letter and number recognition. Their circle time is longer and their activities are designed to meet their needs at this developmental stage. All of our classes participate in art, dramatic play and outdoor play daily.
Pre-Kindergarten Program: 4 days/week (M-Th) 9:00-1:00
This program is designed for students that are four at the start of the school year and will turn five. These students will be working towards kindergarten readiness. There is a larger emphasis on letter recognition as these friends move into identifying and blending sounds to start the reading process. The program is designed for students to learn in small group rotations that cover reading, handwriting, STEM, art, technology and independence. The goal of this program is to have students ready for the rigors of kindergarten.
Kindergarten: 4 days/week (M-Th) 9:00-1:00

It is an accelerated program designed to prepare students for their entry into first grade in all areas of learning.
