NURSERY SCHOOL:
A series of structured classes that provide a variety of age appropriate experiences that initiate learning readiness and provide a strong foundation for the development of a positive self image.
(Children must be the age of the classroom on or before September 1st.)
All morning sessions run from 9:00 - 12:00 and the afternoon enrichments run from 1:00 - 4:00.
* 2 year old Program (M-W-F) (choose 2 or 3 days)
Toddlers do not need to be potty trained to start school at Children's Place. This is a self help skill the teachers will encourage with your child and you when your child shows signs of learning.
* 3 year old Program (M-W-F am or T-R am)
* 4 year old Program (M-W-F am/pm or T-R am)
* Pre K Program (M-F am)
PRE KINDERGARTEN:
This program uses the Scott Foresman curriculum, which is used in the Rochester Public Schools. The emphasis is on literacy and writing. There is journaling along with short stories that are sent home weekly. Throughout the week in class the focus is on one story. Getting to know it very well and all the aspects of that story is an important literacy piece.
Some of the stations set up around the room include letter recognition and the sounds that letters make. Basic math skills are also explored. Getting students as prepared for Kindergarten as possible is the main objection of the Pre Kindergarten program. Students in this class must be 4 on or before September 1st of the current school year. Pre K session is a 5 day M-F morning option.
LUNCH BUNCH:
A program that allows your child an opportunity to learn and use appropriate socialization skills while eating lunch with his/her peers. In addition to lunch (which you provide) activities such as circle games, outdoor play or a story may be included. Parents provide a cold lunch, including a beverage that does not need to be refrigerated.
You sign up for your day and that day is yours for the school year unless you make any changes to your child's schedule. Children must be 3 years old to be in Lunch Bunch, and there are reserved "Drop In" spots when available.
Lunch Bunch runs from 12:00 to 12:50.
