Christ Church Preschool Open House

Christ Church Preschool will have an open house from 10:00a.m. to noon on Saturday, January 12, at its school building, 479 Quaker Farms Rd.

Families with children between ages 3 and 5 are welcome to visit, observe the program and meet the staff.

The school has classrooms and staff solely for 3 year-olds, for 4-year-olds, and for 5-year-olds. The school also has a fenced-in outdoor play area.

The school offers a curriculum focusing on parent-child separation, self-esteem, self-help skills, motor skills and readiness for 3-year-olds.

The 3-year-olds' sessions include two morning classes which run for two days a week, and an afternoon class that runs for three days per week.

Each class has a maximum capacity of 10 students.

Children ages 4 and 5 are put in a transition class with a capacity of 16 students.

The class is designed to teach kindergarten readiness in four-session-a-week classes through group and individual activities, manipulative experiences and movement with lots of fun mixed in, with the goal of building confidence and academic success.

There are morning class and afternoon class sessions available.

Morning classes for all age groups meet from 9 to 11:30a.m. and afternoon classes meet from 12:30 to 3:00p.m., from September through May.

During the sessions a snack will be provided for the children.

Christ Church Preschool is state-licensed, non-profit and non-sectarian.

The trained staff members have many years of experience working exclusively with young children. Additionally staff members are members of both the Southwestern Connecticut and National Association for the Education of Young Children.
