WHAT IS THE

The Enrichment Program is designed to extend the
time at school by an hour and a half (from
11:30 am to 1 pm) with extra curriculum and LOTS
of FUN!!! Children eat lunch together, enjoy
another circle time, story and planned
activities such as a game, art project, community
caring project, and indoor or outdoor large motor
skill activities. The children have a 'Theme' or
an 'Author of the Month' for Enrichment in
addition to their 9-11:30 a.m. curriculum. Please
email from any page of this website for more
information or to sign up! The Afternoon 'Plus'
classes have the option of signing up for 'Lunch
Enrichment' on T/T and/or W/F from 11:30 a.m. to
12:15 p.m. Please email or call the school office
for more information.
M/W/F 4 YEAR OLD CLASSES
Consider adding our 'optional
fourth day' for your Pre-Kindergartener! The
Thursday class offers a busy day working on lots
of curriculum items that may need extra review as
well as offering lots of new and exciting
activities and topics! This class is a wonderful
compliment to your M/W/F class and helps to better
prepare your child for Kindergarten next year. The
children will have the opportunity to meet a few
new friends as well as see their classmates from
their M/W/F class.
