This class is very often the first preschool experience for both the children and the parents. The teacher and the parents work together to make this a smooth and enjoyable first experience. As in all of our classes, parents are always welcome to come to all or any part of the child's class, but are required to attend on their scheduled work day.

The children have the opportunity to play indoors and outdoors. In addition to free play, in each session there is a snack and group circle times. The children will often do cooking projects or help in the preparation of their snack

In this class children are encouraged to participate in science, and field trips.

The school also has an Intercultural Program. Our teachers choose several countries each year to incorporate into our program. This can be done through visitors, music and through special art and cooking projects.

Toward the end of the session, children are encouraged to play under the supervision of several parents as the remaining parents participate in a half hour informal discussion with the teacher about the events of the day. This portion of the program provides support and eduction of parents.
