Mixed-Age Preschool Class
Our mixed‑Age Preschool is a drop‑off program for children who are 3 or 4 years old on or before September 1, 2026. This class blends our 3‑ and 4‑year‑old curriculum, offering a play‑based environment that supports social‑emotional growth, motor development, and early learning skills.
Children learn alongside peers of different ages, giving younger students the chance to observe and practice new skills while older students build confidence through leadership, cooperation, and problem‑solving. Through hands‑on play and guided exploration, children gain the skills they need to grow and thrive.
Section 4: Mon - Fri | 12:15 p.m. - 3 p.m.
