Creative Preschoolers Programs
Preschool programs are designed to provide children ages 3-5 with their first social group experience outside the home. Emphasis is placed on experiencing age-appropriate recreation activities, being part of a group, cooperating, listening, sharing, developing play and movement skills, and discovering nature.
The Creative Preschoolers Program is a nine-month program, running from September to May. Half-day hours are 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.; full-day hours are 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. (extended day until 6 p.m.)
Creative Preschoolers Programs are offered at five convenient Arlington locations
