Practicing Preschool is a theme-based preschool curriculum program that is a bit shorter in duration and designed to introduce your 2-3+ year old to a preschool-like experience. A new and different theme will be explored each week. Practicing Preschool emphasizes social skills by encouraging friendships and trust. Along with building these important skills, your child will have fun making craft projects, using their imagination, creating with various mediums, exploring music and movement, and be enchanted by stories and games. Our preschool classes are taught by caring, experienced preschool teachers.
Participants should bring an allergy friendly snack and a water bottle each day. Please note any allergy information when you register.
Always dress for mess and pack a full change of clothes!
EXTENDED DAY for Practicing Preschool
Extend Practicing Preschool by an hour and move pickup time from 11am to 12:00pm. This additional time will be spent exploring arts and crafts, stories, as well as music. On nicer days, children may venture outside.
