Description: Hoboken Public Schools (HPS) is overseeing 11 preschool classrooms and contracting with two providers for the 2014-2015 school year. The two providers - Mile Square and HOPES CAP, Inc., along with HPS, all follow the same program requirements:
Each classroom uses the Tools of the Mind Curriculum
Each classroom has no more than 15 students to one state certified teacher and one assistant
Each classroom follows the same guidelines for classroom arrangement and materials
The school day runs from 8:30 to 2:30 p.m. and is free for all age-eligible Hoboken residents as long as space is available.
HPS and HOPES CAP, Inc. both have computers in their classrooms
Mile Square at the Demarest and St. Francis site and HPS participate in the school lunch program - parents may purchase lunch or send in their own lunch
Mile Square and HOPES CAP, Inc. offer before care from 7:30-8:30 a.m. and after care from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. The fee for said care is dependent on family income. Additional care from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m is available at a flat fee for all families. HPS students at the Brandt site can participate in the before and after care through HOPES CAP, Inc.
Both before and after care programs are run directly by the providers and not by the Hoboken Board of Education.
