This playgroup setting will also stress language development through the use of music, stories, finger plays and art as well as small and large motor activities.

Tuition: $1,683.00 - payable in nine equal monthly installments of $187.00.

This class will run 3 full days a week. This is a preschool option for the child who is ready for more. The same concepts and skills will be addressed as in the Turtle/Lion classes, but the longer day affords the expansion of lessons and activities and is a good bridge for those children who may be attending full day Kindergarten the following year. The students enjoy lunch and recess at midday, followed by an afternoon of continuing exploration and adventure in the classroom.

Extended Day Option (EDO) is a program available to our preschool students age 3 and up. This option allows parents to leave their child at school and additional 3 1/2 hours on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. At 11:30 all children who are registered for EDO are taken directly to the lunchroom (all lunches must come from home). They remain with the lunch staff until 12:30. The children then transfer to the designated EDO classroom. Here they continue their afternoon with opportunities to create, read, play and have additional playground or large muscle room time with the EDO teaching staff until pick-up at 3:00. Children enrolled in the Tuesday/Thursday classes are also eligible and welcome to attend EDO.

"Lunch Bunch" Option:

Parents may choose to sign-up their child for only an additional hour after school just for lunch. Pick up is 12:30 in the lunchroom. All lunches must be brought from home and must be labled with your child's name. We can not prepare any foods on site.

Cost: EDO - $14.00 per day. "Lunch Bunch" only option - $4.00 per day. A monthly statement will be sent out for payment.

Registration/Payment: Sign-up sheets for each EDO and Lunch Bunch day are posted on the bulletin board in the main hallway of the school. You can register for as many days a month as you wish, as long as there are openings (maximum 12 students per day). EDO and Lunch Bunch run each M/W/F that school is in session, beginning the second week of school. Statements of payment due are sent out monthly by the Preschool office.
