Class Structure for 2021-20222 Year-Olds
A child must be 2 years old by March 31st to enroll in our 2 year-old class, which meets twice weekly (Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday 9:00-11:30 a.m.) with an option for a third day on Wednesday. The option of adding Wednesday is a great opportunity for the child who is ready for more socialization. Class size is limited to 12 children per class. We offer Mini Munchers every Thursday or Tuesday from 11:30-12:30, if you would like to extend your child's morning. It is an hour of lunch and play. *Children with later birthdays, before 7/31, may be accepted into the program, if space is available. |

3s/4s Multi-Age Class
A child must be 3 or 4 years old by October 1st to enroll in our Multi-Age class. There 3 year-old students attend M-TH and the 4 year-old students attend M-F. Class size is limited to 16 children per class.
We will have small group instruction during the day that will focus on developmentally appropriate material, it will meet the state standards for Pre-K early learning, and each group will have measurable goals. The 4s specifically will be focusing on Kindergarten readiness. Students in the new multi-age class will still be learning the same concepts taught in the other classes. Whole group lessons will include instruction in a variety of themes. Students will have opportunities to work with older and younger classmates, to play games, complete projects, and do activities that foster learning in various areas. The 4s students will be introduced to Phonics (letter sound relationships, rhyming, etc.), alphabet recognition, reading-readiness skills, and math concepts (shapes, numbers, counting, graphing, comparing numbers, creating patterns, etc) during small group lessons, allowing students to work on skills that are most appropriate to their level of readiness. Thus, preparing them for Kindergarten.
