Overview
We offer 2, 3, and 5 full and half day programs for children 18 months and above at both schools, and 2, 3, and 5 full day programs for infants. Occasionally, we can fulflll a request for an unusal schedule, so please ask! Our 3 day schedule is Monday through Wednesday and our 2 day schedule is Thursday/Friday.
Our hours are 7-7 at Princeton and 7-6 at Foxmoor, with limited school closings – only major legal holidays; no week long closures. Two or three snacks are included in tuition (depending on the length of the child’s day with us). Diapers and wipes are also included in the cost of tuition.
Check with us about “back-up care” for your child. With proper notice, we can accommodate most requests for extra days of care if your child is not full time with us. Many corporations provide “Back-Up Care Advantage” for their employees, a subsidy for occasional child care services. Children over 18 months and up to age 9 can use this service.
Preschool
There is some flexibility on when a child enters the preschool group; somewhere between 2.5-3 years of age. A child’s life experience, and their social, academic, and physical development are all factors in determining the appropriate placement for children this age. Pre-writing, pre-math, pre-reading and pre-science are all components of curriculum, balanced with plenty of play time indoors and outside. Potty training is not required for entry to preschool, but should be in progress early on during the child’s early preschool term. Preschoolers participate in “in-house” field trips when special visitors and community helpers come to visit.
