SCHEDULE
Our Morning Program is Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
​
-
Chicken Coop: For children turning three years old between September 1st and December 31st, this class is often the first school experience for young threes. The primary focus is to develop social awareness skills and foster confidence.
-
Class I: For children three to four years old, this class promotes a child’s self-image as a capable and confident learner who is able to interact with his or her environment. Children are provided with opportunities to work and play independently and cooperatively.
-
Class II: For children four to five years old, this class is structured to further enhance skills in all developmental areas including cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. This class is often an extension of the child’s three-year-old year, and he or she typically becomes more focused and independent.
-
Class III: For children five to six years old, this class continues the process that began in preschool. We carefully nurture a positive attitude toward ourselves, our peers, and learning. Play is “work” for the young child, and we believe children learn best through hands-on, active learning. This program is designed to be flexible enough to meet each child’s developmental style and pace. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, Class III is in session until 2:30 p.m.
