PREschool

The Preschool class is for 3 and 4 year olds who are fully potty trained and not entering into Kindergarten the following year. This 2 ½ hour class meets from 9:00-11:30 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This class would have a teacher to student ratio not to exceed 2:12.

Pre-k

The Pre-K classes are for 5 year-olds and older 4's that will be eligible for Kindergarten the following year.
If a child will not be eligible to attend Kindergarten the following fall due to their age, it will be up to the discretion of the Administrator and Preschool Board whether the child can be enrolled into a Pre-K class. This determination would be made on an individual, as needed basis.

There are three options for the Pre-K class:

MOVEMENT & OUTDOOR ACTIVITY

Large motor movement and outdoor play is essential for young children to thrive. We will play outside daily, as weather permits. Children will not be taken outside when the temperature (wind chill and heat index factored in) drop below 25 degrees or rise above 90 degrees. If the situation necessitates, we will also adjust outdoor time due to rain, threatening weather, ozone warnings etc. On days that outdoor play is not possible, indoor gross motor activities are scheduled.

FaMILY FIELD TRIPS

We attempt to schedule field trips three times each year. Each year our field trips vary to provide a variety from returning students from year to year. Parents who wish to participate in our field trips are required to transport their own child or make arrangements with another adult for the transportation of their child. Preschool staff is not able to transport any children for the field trips.
