Is your child graduating from preschool and moving on to Kindergarten this fall? If so this class is a great opportunity to spend a few days preparing for September by learning the expectations in the new school environment. Students will build relationships with new friends and practicing independent self help skills within a regular school day. Children will also be reviewing and working on language and literacy, thinking and math skills through guided play, group time, and social interactions. Scholarships are available based on eligibility. Child only course. Children will need to bring a lunch their lunch, as we will "practice" eating in the school cafeteria. Child must be entering Kindergarten in the Fall of 2021.

Playschool is an opportunity for children to become more comfortable and confident in a classroom setting, learn and follow rules, routines and directions, begin to initiate social interactions, and become and integral part of a group. In the fall, children come to school with a parent/guardian and spend time in a traditional ECFE classroom gaining these skills and separating during parent time. Starting the week of November 3, 2021, we will implement the second day as child-only. Children may attend the second day (Wednesday) as soon as they are 2.5 years old.

In this unique parent-child program, we explore, investigate, and unearth nature's secrets that lie beyond the classroom doors. Parents will have one-on-one time with their child(ren); indoors and outside. There will also be time for parents to meet with the teacher in a different room to discuss their child's learning and development while children spend time with a Naturalist learning more about themselves, each other and the natural world.
