Preschool and Kinder Prep

Tiny Tots is a social recreation program for children 3-5 years of age.Our philosophy acknowledges and respects the uniqueness of each child.

Required: All participants must be potty trained!

space is limited! Call 949-2203 and schedule your tour today!

Play with a purpose!

We believe that a child’s strong sense of self-esteem comes from experiencing success within an age-appropriate environment, through a curriculum that emphasizes social recreation and builds positive self worth. Child/adult ratio is 6:1.

Kinder Prep Kinder Prep is a direct response to the growing need for aprogram that embraces those children who are not quite ready for the step into Kindergarten, or for those young ones whose birthdays fall close to the age-date cut off.

Preschool Programs (3s and 4s) We integrate basic pre-kindergarten activities to introduce fundamental concepts. Our Terrifi c 3s and Fabulous 4s classes operate as a parent cooperative. Parents participate in the learning experience with their child by volunteering in the classroom.

Registration for 2011/2012Registration for returning students: December 6.

New families can register at one of our open houses; please join us: Janurary 5, February 9, March 9.

This musical weaves together Dr. Seuss’s most famous tales in unexpected ways, combining at

least 15 of his books and many of his best loved characters.

Dr. Seuss believes in helping a friend, in not giving up, in keep-ing a promise. He believes in the value and the dignity of others, and in working to preserve the fragile sweetness of the natural

world. But most of all he believes in the power of imagination to make it

all happen.

So much fun, music in many styles, and yet more! Great

character roles! Chorus in most of the show! Fun and imaginative

movement! Be a part of it!
