About the Provider

Description: Congregational Preschool continues to offer a Mon/Wed/Fri morning class for four-year-olds as a great alternative to the five morning or afternoon 4K option. This program is very similar to the 4K program in their curriculum, planning, and weekly themes and they participate in the field trips together during the school year. This three day a week class might be great for your families schedule or if you and your child might not be ready for an every-day school experience. If you have any questions, please call the preschool office.
