What is Kindergarten PLUS+?
Kindergarten PLUS+ is our new enhanced Kindergarten program, which delivers a M-F experience by doubling the number of hours a child can attend.
It allows your child to attend school for a full day, every day.
How is Kindergarten PLUS+ different from Kindergarten?
Kindergarten PLUS+ is an additional program that children attend over and above the regular Kindergarten program. It will be offered opposite your child’s regular Kindergarten program.
Children attend their Kindergarten program with their teacher, and attend the additional programming with the Kindergarten PLUS+ Instructor and Assistant.
How will the program benefit my child?
Kindergarten PLUS+ offers a multitude of activities that promote a child’s growth and development, and will complement and enrich the instruction that children receive in their regular classes.
The extra program hours each week provide expanded opportunities to reinforce skills that students learn during their kindergarten day. Educators have greater capacity to expand on topics of interest to further extend the child’s learning.
The M-F Kindergarten PLUS+ program will minimize transitions and provide a consistent routine between home and school.
Is there a cost?
Yes, Kindergarten PLUS+ is a user-pay Kindergarten experience that provides children with double the number of hours they can attend school.
The program fee is $350 per month.
What types of activities will my child do in the Kindergarten PLUS+ program?
In Kindergarten PLUS+ children will learn through hands-on, playful, multi-sensory activities. Over the week, activities that support your child's development in each of the key domains will be provided:
Creative Development - - Social Development - - Physical Development
Emotional Development - - Intellectual Development - - Spiritual Development
Can my child ride the bus?
If your child is eligible for bus transportation to their regular kindergarten program, they would also be able to ride the bus for the Kindergarten PLUS+ program. Children can ride the bus in the morning and again at the end of the day.
