About the Provider

Description: Free Public Pre-K School year calendar. Two groups: Mon-Tue 8-1 or Wed-Thur-Fri 8-1. We have a 20 minute drop-off "window" to accommodate different families' morning routines. Every day children will find the schedule (in print and pictures) on the schedule board. Each preschool day includes circle time, activity time, playground, snack, and story. Children may work on special projects related to the current curriculum focus or they may pursue their own interests in activity centers. Children's learning is supported through play; providing play experiences that allow children to develop and accumulate their own knowledge. We provide educational opportunities that inspire children to create, explore, and ask questions. It's a safe and positive learning environment where each child's self-esteem and uniqueness is supported.
