2 days/week: THURSDAY & FRIDAY 9:00 – 11:30am

3 days/week: WED - FRI from 9:00 – 11:30am

To enroll in these classes, your child must be three years old by September 1. Classes begin the week of Labor Day and end the week prior to Memorial Day.

The primary objectives of the Three-Year-Old class are to help each child develop a good self-image, give repeated opportunities to discover and explore, to challenge, and to problem-solve. We give the children diverse choices that can lead to independence, self-control, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility. Our program provides a rich environment that considers each child’s total development, individual needs, and interests.

Each day will include arts and crafts, singing and rhythm activities, finger-plays, dramatic play, stories, games, physical development activities, and readiness experiences. During playtime, the children will learn to interact with each other, solve problems, and acquire socially acceptable behavior through cooperation and sharing. We emphasize encouraging children to be aware of the feelings and rights of others. Age-appropriate academics are also introduced. Throughout the year, our program will include science and social living lessons involving self-awareness, seasons, holidays, animals, plants, health, and safety, as well as supplemental visits from resource persons.

Optional Lunch Buddy Program

The Preschool offers a Lunch Buddy program throughout the school year. Lunch Buddies is open to any Pre-Kindergarten or 3-year-old child currently enrolled. It is held every Tues-Wed-Thurs beginning in October. This program offers the children a time to eat lunch and play with children from the other classes. It runs from 11:30 am-12:30 pm. Each child brings their own lunch and drink. Sign-up sheets are posted on the bulletin board located in the middle of the school hallway. You must sign up each time in order to have your child stay, as space is limited to a certain number of students each day. There is a nominal fee for each Lunch Buddy day due at sign up.

Optional Extended Day Program

The Preschool also offers an Extended Day Program that occurs every Wednesday and Thursday from 12:30-1:30 starting in October. This program lasts one additional hour after our Lunch Buddies Program. Our Extended Day Program is open to only our Threes and Pre-K classes. Each child who attends is required to be signed up and participate in the Lunch Buddies program that day. There is an additional fee per day for this program. (This fee should never be included with your tuition check.) Sign up in the hallway just as you do for our Lunch Buddies program.

Optional Full Day Program

We are pleased to now offer an optional full day program to our 3-day (Mon, Tue, Wed) and 4-day (Mon – Thurs) PreK students from 9 a.m. -1:30 p.m. This program gives families the ability to prepay and reserve their child's spot in advance for two extra hours of fun and education after their regular school day. The purpose of this program is to extend each child's learning experience. The children stay together as a class and enjoy a packed lunch from home and play games and learning activities that reinforce their morning lessons.

Families who would like to enroll in this program need to register before school starts in September. There will also be an opportunity for students to join our Full Day Program in January. Note, once your child is enrolled, you are committed to this program for the duration of the school year.

As you can see, it is a full and busy year. We hope that your child can join us!
