Our school year program runs from September through June, though we welcome families at any time.
Families contract for one of the three following “programs”:
- Toddler (15 mo. – 2.9 yrs) Preparación Preescolar
- Preschool (2.9 – 4 yrs.) Preescolar
- Pre-Kindergarten (4 – 6 yrs.) Preparación Para Kinder
(As noted previously, Directors and Teachers will sometimes recommend a change based on development rather than specific age.)
