About the preschool
Teaching the Preschool Child’s “Little Tiger Preschool” is designed for three to five year-old children. The purpose of the program is to aid in the preparation and transition into kindergarten by fostering self-esteem and self-expression through organized educational activities selected to meet the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs of preschool children.
Operation
Our preschool runs 10 weeks, February 17 to May 7, three days a week, every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday that PNHS is in “normal” attendance. The drop off time for the A.M. session is at 8 AM and pick up is at 10:30 AM. The drop off time for the P.M. session is at 11:40 AM and pick up is at 1:10 PM. Semester tuition is $150 for the A.M. session and $100 for the P.M. session. The fee includes snacks, arts and crafts materials, t-shirt, and teaching resources.
The Program
The daily preschool schedule consists of learning centers based on the preschool teaching objectives, storytime, large and small muscle activities, circle time, music, art, snack, and free play. Activities are chosen related to a certain weekly theme. Each class is planned and prepared by the high school student teachers and is discussed with the instructor ahead of time.
The Facilities
The facilities include a large playroom equipped with a bathroom (across the hall), adequate lighting, ventilation, and proper safety precautions. Toys and materials for a wide range of experiences are available. During warmer temperatures some activities are outside. Additional facilities of the high school may be utilized, as well.
Transportation
The parents/guardians or caregivers provide transportation, and many times carpools are organized. Parents are asked to see their child at the main entrance of the school or to a member of the staff upon arrival and departure. We ask that the drivers be prompt and that they notify us in the event of any emergency that may delay them or if someone else is picking up their child.
Policies and Procedures
Medical forms (physical forms) must be on record with Little Tiger Preschool and be up-to-date. Children must be toilet trained. Children should dress in simple, casual, washable clothing for play and weather. Smocks are provided for painting and craft projects. Sneakers are preferred. Children may not bring candy, gum, or any toys to school, unless for a specific activity.
***The children are asked to bring a change of clothes to be kept at school in case of an accident. Please place these in a bag and be sure to mark with your child’s name. These will be returned on the last day of preschool.
