There are three preschool sessions available: The 5 day-a-week preschool (Monday through Friday; 8 to 11 a.m.) curriculum focuses on Kindergarten readiness and STEM and is suitable for students who have previously attended preschool or students who will enter Kindergarten the following school year. This is typically a mixed age class of 4 and 5-year-old students.
The 3 day-a-week preschool (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; 8 to 11 a.m.) curriculum focuses more heavily on classroom routines, social-emotional development, and school-readiness skills, including pre-math, literacy and STEM. This class is suitable for students who are new to preschool or for families who need the flexibility of a 3 day-a-week schedule. This is typically a mixed age class of 3, 4 and 5-year-old students.
The 2 day-a-week preschool (Tuesday, Thursday; 12:30 to 3 p.m.) curriculum focuses on transitioning students to school and school routines, developing social-emotional skills, language, literacy, some STEM activities and pre-math. This class is suitable for students who are new to preschool, would benefit from a smaller class size or for families who need the flexibility of a two-day-a-week program. This is typically a mixed age class of 3, 4 and 5-year-old students.
