Our PREP program is specifically designed for those children who miss the 9/1 cut off and turn 3 between 9/1 and 12/31. Typically, this is a small sized class staffed by a teacher and an assistant.  The PREP class focuses on preparing for preschool with much emphasis placed on separating from mom and dad, emotions and feelings, social skills and classroom management skills.  And, don't forget, we believe that playing IS learning too!  But, even our PREP class enjoys specials such as gym, computer lab, religious education, community outreach programs and field trips too.  They enjoy all the extra special things we participate in here at First Presbyterian Preschool as we develop the 'whole' child.
​This class meets Tuesday & Thursday 9-10:30am until Christmas and then until 11:30am.
For the 2019-2020 school year we are offering a Prep/3 year old class.  This class will consist of Prep students and those who turn 3 before September 1st.  The day will be structured so that Prep students will participate in their welcoming activity, centers, circle time, table top learning and snack.  For the first half of the year, Prep students will leave at 10:30 and the 3 year old students will continue their day with outdoor play, centers, more table top learning and their goodbye routine.    The size of the class will be kept small to give more individualized attention.  Students who turn 3 before September 1st will attend class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from  9-11:30am.
