PROGRAMS
We offer expertly designed programs for children that meet their spiritual, social, emotional, physical, and intellectual needs. We offer two sessions each day:
AM Session: 8:30-11:00
PM Session: 12:30-3:00
JumpStart
This program is designed specifically to meet the needs of students 4 & 5 years of age who are ready for a daily half-day school experience. While the curriculum builds off of the 4 & 5 year old program, the teachers have additional time to explore topics in greater depth and allow extra time for exploration and student- initiated experiences. The highlight of this class is weekly cooking experiences. Your child must be enrolled in our 4 & 5 year old program to be eligible for the JumpStart Add- On.
Requirements
Must be enrolled in a 4/5 year old program with any preschool. Those attending Orchard Drive Preschool program will be given preference. Your child will attend the JumpStart program on Tuesdays and Thursday and attend a 4/5 year old program on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, thus attending school 5 half-days a week. Must be potty trained.
4 & 5 Year Olds
This program focuses on developing those skills needed for kindergarten. The children build upon the social skills gained in the 3 year old program, and are encouraged to develop their fine motor, listening, and school readiness skills. In addition, they are introduced to letter and number recognition through activities designed to promote early literacy skills in math and language.
Requirements
Must be 4 years old by September 1st and potty trained.
3 & 4 Year Olds
This program focuses on social interactions through learning to play, work, and communicate with other children. Through shared reading time, group activities, and play time, the children are encouraged to cooperate and interact with adults and other children. While there is time for independent exploration, children in this class work together to develop a variety of age appropriate skills.
Requirements
Must be 3 years old by September 1st and potty trained.
