enrichment classes
Enrichment classes are designed to enhance our school year programs and are especially designed for the child that is ready for a longer day. These developmentally-appropriate classes are short in duration, fun, participatory and focus on "learning by doing"! They are available to Three’s and Pre-K children.
There are 26 weekly classes from 1:00–2:00pm, during the regular school year. The enrollment fee is $880 for the 26-week program. The sign-up for these enrichments is separate from our regular school year program. 2023-24 Enrichment Application
