This program is designed for children ages 3 to 5 following the CT Frameworks. The day begins at 8:00 a.m. where children are encouraged to participate in free play. During the morning hours, the children have a snack and enjoy outside play in our fenced in naturalized play area. Their day includes stories, activities, music and movement. The children then eat lunch, followed by rest, project choices, and outside play until 4pm.
Please ask about tuition assistance options.
