Preschool Daycare

For preschool children, the school becomes an extension of their home. Carefully designed activities reflect the special effort given to following the natural pace of the child.  After the morning class is over, children staying for daycare meet for lunch and time on the playground or in the gym.

Preschool children who stay for a full day program take a nap from 1:00 to 2:45. Children who are 3 by Sept. 1 are in nap and children who are 4 by Sept. 1 are in Siesta. Children  bring a blanket, a pillow, and if they like, a toy to sleep with and keep at school. Given the number of children who attend these programs, placement designations are not changed during the year whether a child continues to nap or not.

After nap time,  the children often spend time on the playground or in the gym. In general, it is a more social time where friendships are cemented and children learn valuable social skills.  The preschool full day program provides special group projects such as cooking, games and imaginative play.
