SUMMER 2013 PRESCHOOL ENRICHMENT
All of the preschool enrichment classes will be held at the Early Childhood Center, 5241 Shoreline Drive, Mound. Our preschool summer enrichment classes are intended for children who feel comfortable with separating from their parent, who are toilet trained, and who will not be in kindergarten for the 2013-14 school year (there are classes specifically designed for students entering Kindergarten on pages 14-26). Preschool enrichment classes provide opportunities for children to explore new interests, gain new skills, meet new friends, and improve early-learning and social skills. We are excited about the classes that have been planned, and the knowledgeable and caring staff hired to teach these classes. The classes offer hands-on learning which encourages skill building and a love for learning. Research continues to confirm that the quality of experiences young children have in their first few years of life is critical to their social, intellectual, and physical development - make learning and play a part of your child’s best summer ever!
