Early Childhood Program

Our Early Childhood Program provides enriching activities in an environment that encourages children to be creative thinkers, active explorers and good problem solvers. The children are busy each morning with teacher-directed as well as self-selected activities.

The preschool program day is from 9:00 to 12:30 which includes time for snack and lunch.  The class size is approximately 12 to 14 students with a Lead and an Assistant Teacher. 

We have 2 different classes in this program:

 Tuesday/Thursday Class

This is designed to meet the developmental needs of 3-year-olds who are potty trained.

Monday/Wednesday/Friday Class

This is designed to meet the social, emotional, physical and cognitive needs of any child who is developmentally 4 years old.

Extended Day

Extended Day takes place from 12:30-3:00 Monday, Wednesday and Friday for those preschool children ready for a longer school day. This afternoon program includes a state-mandated 1/2 hour rest period, singing, drama, art and outdoor activities as well as opportunity for uninterrupted pretend play in the block and house areas.

The Early Childhood fieldtrips help classroom units come alive, and might include a hike around a local pond to look at the water plants and creatures, a trip to Carter's Mountain to pick apples, or a day at the circus!

Every child is paired with a buddy in the elementary grades. The buddies meet each week to read together, do math projects, do art projects or have fun together on the playground.
