Spring Preschool for 2021

Our goal with the 2020/2021 school year has been to take all precautions possible with regard to the covid-19 virus without losing sight of our mission of providing a developmentally appropriate and fun learning environment for our kids.  To that end, we began the year with an entirely outdoor model, and although we have moved inside for the winter months, we continue a modified school experience that includes:

• Small, stabile cohorts of of students
• A shortened, classroom experience with increased ventilation and an outdoor snack

We currently have spots available in our Stars Class for students who were 2.5 years old by 9/1/2020 as well as in our Rockets class for students who were 3.5 years old by 9/1/2020.

The Stars Class meets on Tuesdays from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. and the Rockets on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
