Enrichment programs are a complement to our four-year-old curriculum throughout the school year, and in the spring for three-year-olds.
We are pleased to offer Adventures in Music and Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Pre-K Science as two of our cornerstone enrichment programs. Both programs are designed to build upon the concepts and skills our children are exposed to through our core curriculum. Both Everyday Math and Pre-K Science are offered throughout the school year on a semester basis.
Our other enrichment programs are done on a “mini-class” basis for five weeks. Created and implemented by our professional staff, we offer experiences such as:
