Our preschool has one morning schedule, and all children attend at this time of day —we do not have a second afternoon group, so our classrooms are used by only one group of children each day.
Our teachers are able to meet, plan, prepare environments, and work on documentation after children depart rather than working with an additional class. Our regular days begin between 8:45 a.m. and 9am. Depending on their age, children attend school between 12:00 pm and 1:40 pm Monday - Thursday. Each Friday children are dismissed by 12:40 p.m.
The preschool year begins in mid-August and ends in early June. We are closed for the month of July.
New Relationships with Food & Friends
For children attending school past 12 pm Monday - Thursday, we offer a catered lunch prepared by a local chef in a commercial kitchen.
The ritual of sitting at the table sharing lunch with friends assumes a special value in creating a sense of community.
Children take turns to prepare the tables with care, leaving a sense of welcome for all their friends. A simple breakfast snack and a healthy mid-morning snack are offered daily.
