We have a September 1 cutoff date, meaning that students must be a certain age by that date to be eligible for a particular program. It's normal for children to develop at different paces for different milestones, and we differentiate our instruction to teach to each child's strengths and struggles.
Participants must turn 2 years old by September 1 to be eligible. Young learners learn through play, expand language, navigate emotions, develop motor skills, and start problem-solving through experimentation.
Participants must turn 3 years old by September 1 to be eligible. Language skills allow for more complex conversation, imaginative play rules emerge, motor skills are becoming more integrated, and problem-solving starts to include basic cause-and-effect relationships.
Participants must turn 4 years old by September 1 to be eligible. Kids show improved independence, language and listening skills, understanding of emotions, ability to focus, problem-solving, and peer relationships.
Participants must turn 5 years old by September 1 to be eligible. Some children benefit from an extra year of preschool, and our Bridging Kindergarten program is all about building readiness and confidence for the big leap to kindergarten.
