The 2 day-a-week preschool (Monday, Friday; 8am to 11am) curriculum focuses on transitioning students to school and school routines, developing social-emotional skills, language, literacy, some STEM activities and pre-math.  This class is a good fit for students who are new to preschool or for families who need the flexibility of a two-day-a-week program.
