Youth Programs

We would like to welcome you to Part-Day Preschool and say how thrilled we are to have you join us. The program is focused not only on caring for your children, but in also involving parents. You are not only invited but also encouraged to join us for snack in our family style dining, participate in any planned activities, and share any hobbies or special skills with your child’s class.

In order to have the program run smoothly and effectively for your children, we have a few requests. Here, your child will be assigned a cubby where he/she are encouraged to bring a change of clothing in case of an emergency. We ask that your child does not bring any toys from home, primarily for safety reasons; we want all of our children to remain in a good health and stay safe. We also ask that as you enter the classroom, have your child wash their hands. All these things will provide a safe and efficient environment for everyone.
