Children can attend either morning (AM) or afternoon (PM) classes at our school. The three-day program is available for children who are three to 3 1/2 by September 1st. The three-day program meets Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. It provides an initial exposure to school, other children and adults, but offers an option to parents who hesitate to send their children to school for 5 days. Whenever parents feel that their child is ready to attend school five days a week, that space is available to them.
The morning session begins at 8:30; the afternoon session begins at 12:30. Children select individual or small group work for most of the session and then they gather on the "line" for group activities and to prepare for dismissal at 11:30 for the AM and 3:30 for the PM. Snack is served on an individual basis throughout the session. Children wash their hands and then serve themselves from the snack table and sit down with friends to enjoy a social interlude.
