Registration for the 2011-2012 school year begins February 15, 2011.
In most cases, this will be the child’s first experience with being away from home in a school setting. It is important that the experience be positive and growth-producing for children and parents alike.
Our supportive environment will encourage social growth in your three year old child. A higher number of teach parents per child helps develop trusting relationships with other adults and enables positive social experiences with children of the same age.
Separation from parents is made easier by the presence of additional adults and by the individual attention given each child and his/her family. Our new families will receive special assistance in helping to smooth out the transition from home to school.
Stimulating, planned activities will provide a basis for exploration and discovery and will invite your child to become actively involved in his/her new school.
The Intermediate class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 to 11:30. We follow the Poudre School District Schedule for Winter and Spring breaks, and classes will begin in the fall one week after PSD resumes.
