Half-Day Preschool (tuition-based)

Our half-day preschool program is tuition-based and provides an excellent social and pre-academic experience for children ages 4-5 year old. 

Classrooms are composed of communities of learners with a range of abilities and gifts and learning and instruction is individualized as children progress at their own rate.   The classroom family has a maximum of 16 children, an early childhood certified teacher and one paraprofessional.
