WBLAS Community Services & Recreation

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.

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 1, 2022, we will implement the second day as child-only. Children may attend the second day (Tuesday) as soon as they are 2.5 years old.

Join us for a trip to the farm. We will take a trolley ride out to the pumpkin fields and pick a pumpkin to bring home. Next, we will visit the animals on the farm. Children will get to pet a variety of sheep, goats, donkeys, cows, mini horses and even see the emu and peacocks. Afterwards families can explore the play sets, corn pits, and giant slide.
