3 & 4 -Year Old Preschool Class
We offer a 3 & 4 year old program including part time and full time hours. We use the Beyond Centers and Circle Time Curriculum and reinforce positive behavior with praise and encouragement. Children must be 3 years of age and be completely potty trained. Part time is M-F 8am - 2pm. This includes breakfast and lunch, education time, and nap time. The cost is $75 per week with a yearly registration rate of $50 (per family). The 3 year program also offers a summer program that runs simultaneously along with our summer camp program (for our children who need summer care but have not reached the age of 5 yet.)
