Circle Too!

Circle Too! offers a rich extension of the preschool philosophy with connections to the morning program. Children enjoy studio time through activities including Arts and Crafts, Basketball, Literacy, Soccer Shots and Kitchen Science. Circle Too! is for children in our 3s, 4s and TK program. It meets immediately following preschool until 1:45 p.m. Carpool begins at 1:45. All children must be potty-trained – no exceptions.

The Spring Session of Circle Too will run from April 7- May 15 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  We will pause classes for spring break and Easter Monday.  There will be activity options offered each day – you may choose which activity you would like for your child to participate in. Depending on availability upon sign-up, your child may attend 1 day, 2 days, 3 days OR all 4 days of Circle Too!  NEW: Snacks will be provided for all participants and are included in the price (snacks include goldfish, Pirate’s Booty, Veggie Straws and maybe a popsicle for the last week!).
