Preschool

Our Transitional Preschool Program is designed for 3-6-year-olds who are not quite ready for the structure and larger class size of preschool or didn’t make the cut-off date for Public Preschool, but need more challenges than a regular in-home or day care program offers. Children in this program must be potty trained.  Transitional Preschool is from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This program provides breakfast/snack and lunch.
