Class Options and Details
Morning classes are available for Junior and Senior students!
Junior Programming
Junior students are children who turn 3 before January 1st. Our Junior programming runs from 9:00 am to 11:30 am on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. For many students, this is their first experience with a structured program. Our focus is to use routine and repetition as part of our playtime to help them develop and grow.
Senior Programming
Senior students are children who are 4 or students who are 3 but will turn 4 prior to January 1st. Our Senior programming runs from 9:00am to 11:30am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Our Senior program has an increased focus on preparing for our students for grade school with more structured programming while still maintaining a play based curriculum.
Multi-Age Programming
The Multi-Age Class is intended for children who will be 3 years of age by September 1, 2023. Children may be considered Junior or Senior, as this is mixed age grouping. This classroom scenario enables flexibility for Junior students interested in 3 day a week programming as well as siblings of different ages in the same class. The Multi-Age Class runs from 9:00am to 11:30am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.

DAILY ACTIVITIES
Playtime at centers
Children are free to explore the many activities set up by the teachers: art using a wide variety of media, manipulative toys, playdough, blocks, water table, and sand table. As well, there are dress-up clothes, a play kitchen and fort, and many other toys to stimulate the childrens’ imaginations.
Circle Time
The teacher leads group activities including songs, discussion, fingerplays, drama and games.
Gym Time
We have a large gym area where children can develop gross motor skills through play equipment such as balls, hoops, and beanbags and share in group games and action songs.
Snack Time
Children are given time to eat a snack provided by their family. Note: Campus Preschool is a nut-free school, and allergies are posted.
Story Time
Children will get a chance to explore books themselves and as a group through reading, singing and acting out stories.
Outdoor play
The children are given a chance to play and learn together as they interact with outdoor toys and the natural environment. End of day pickup is done from the outside whenever the weather permits.
