Importance of outdoor play in preschool
Outdoor play has so many benefits for young children! Coordination, muscle development, self-confidence & problem solving skills are among a few of the benefits of outdoor play. Playing outside often allows children to develop creative ways to interact with the world. A simple stick and dirt can inspire an artist, cook, writer, architect, archaeologist and scientist. Outdoor play is sometimes limited for today's children due to our busy schedules, crime and technology driven toys.

Please note that while we would love to accommodate "make up days" for days off due to illness, vacation, holiday, teacher work days, snow days and other days off, we are unable to do so. We must maintain ratios and our student rosters that we have for every moment that your child is in school.
If you need to add a day due to a family circumstance, please call the office. Added days are $25 per full day/ $15 per half day.
There will be times during the year when all students will be invited to attend school for parties, field trips and other events. More information on special occasions will be coming soon.
