Parent Participation

Our Practice & Play parent participation program is for children aged 12-24 months plus a parent or caregiver. This parent-child class will create a love for learning as it gives an early opportunity to explore in a play-based preschool setting. We aim to instill confidence in the classroom, work on language development, encourage social skills, and make emotional connections. This structured class will introduce art, sensory play, fine and gross motor activities, circle time, and snack time together. Parents will have the opportunity to grow alongside their children through observations, discussions, and supportive resources offered.

If offered a space, the first month's tuition must be received by the requested date in order to secure the spot. Applicants who are not offered a spot are kept on the age-appropriate waiting list until one becomes available. Applications are carried over to subsequent years, if necessary.

Admission and specific program/classroom placement is at the discretion of the director and made in the best interests of the child and the school.
