Our Half Day Preschool/Pre-K Program offers a comprehensive educational experience for ages 3 years to 5 years. We provide a solid foundation for the early school years where children engage in discovery art, math, literacy, science projects, dramatic play, music, movement, Handwriting Without Tears, circle, and center time. Our highly qualified teachers use Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, Creative Curriculum, and the Delaware Early Learning Foundations for School Success which creates an individualized experience for each learner and promotes language, social/emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Students are inspired and engaged in an interactive, well-rounded environment that supports a lifelong love of learning.
Preschool Admission
Admission is on a first come, first serve basis, with an overall goal of the best possible mix of race, religion, sex, and economic status.
Preschool Withdrawal
A 30 day written notice is required if you should choose to withdraw your child during the school year and the next month's tuition is due in full. No exceptions.
Refunds
After a 30 day withdrawal period, any additional advanced payments will be refunded. Withdrawals for the same month will not be returned.
Progress Reports and Conferences
Teachers will hold conferences with parents in November and May. The students will receive a written progress report at each conference. Your involvement will give you an understanding of our program, goals, and expectations. The staff will maintain a close parent/teacher relationship. Parents should feel free to contact the school and request additional conferences if needed. All parents will receive daily notes, monthly newsletters, and a calendar each month.
Class Groupings
Children will be grouped by age according to the State of Delaware's August 31st cutoff date.
