8:30 - 11:30 a.m. Scheduling is flexible; children may attend everyday, or on a part-time basis (days are set at enrollment). The morning preschool class is taught in small group form, and children have the opportunity to be involved in both short and long term projects. Classwork is age appropriate and tailored to the specific needs of each child. Our lesson planning is theme based, covering subjects such as safety, outer space, and health and nutrition, in addition to basic kindergarten skills. A complete list of themes is available for parents at the time of registration. This class is ideal for the children of stay at home mothers, and also for parents who wish to give their children the opportunity for social interaction with peers children as well as a head start on schooling as well as. We also offer a before and after school program, as well as full-time summer care for children ages kindergarten through twelve. Buses from both the Ball and Chatham school districts pick up and drop off at the Center. During the school year, children are escorted to and from the buses by the Pleasant Park staff. After school care includes a snack, time to complete homework, and various activities including art, reading, and dramatic play. Full and half-day care is available on days that school is not in session. Our summer school age program includes approximately two field trips per week, lunch and snacks, all of which are included in tuition cost. Parents are given a schedule of all planned outings at the beginning of the summer, and must sign permission slips accordingly. The summer program follows weekly theme based and age appropriate lesson plans that provide time for fun and relaxation, as well as learning. In addition, the Chatham facility has access to transportation to morning and afternoon preschool classes in both the Ball and Chatham school districts. Children who attend preschool within the district are escorted to and from the appropriate buses by Pleasant Park staff. |
