Your child will be thrilled and excited to learn! Your child will be introduced to basic skills including: the alphabet, numbers, color recognition, shapes, writing and cutting, phonics, early math and science, reading, and more. Your child will also enjoy music, story time, games, daily crafts, ever-changing Free Play choices, and a nutritious snack. All of our Playschool students are also encouraged to participate in our weekly “Fit Kids” program. All students must meet age requirements by September 30, 2007. All students must be potty trained! You must provide copies of your child’s birth certificate, physical examination, immunization record, and our Student Information packet no later than the 1st day of class.
