"It is a happy talent to know how to play."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
The
Readiness Preschool classrooms are for children who are not receiving
an educational experience prior to starting kindergarten. Children need
to be four years old by August 31st of the current school year. Families
must also meet income guidelines and other program requirements. These
classrooms are full-day (7:45am-3:00pm), with a shortened schedule on
Wednesday (7:45am-12:00pm). They are taught by certified early childhood
teachers and are in session 5 days per week.
The Peer Model Preschool classrooms are for children between
the ages of 3-5 who would provide developmentally appropriate models
for children receiving early childhood special education services. These
classrooms are half-day, taught by a special education teacher, and
are in session 4 days per week (no class on Wednesdays).

- Certified classroom teachers
