Is your 3-year-old ready for preschool this winter?
Sometimes that young 3-year-old is just not ready to go to a group or school setting in the fall, but come the middle of the school year, every month makes a difference in their growth and readiness. They may be ready to enjoy a group setting and begin developing those important social skills.
The Preschool at Red Mountain United Methodist Church on Power Road, just north of McDowell Road, is adding a new 3-year-old class in January. If your child turned 3 by December 2011, and is potty trained, this is a chance to start preschool mid-year. This class provides a fun morning of activities, new friends and exploration of the world around us, in a Christian setting.
The new class will start on Feb. 2, and meet on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon. Tuition is $150 per month. The preschool opened six years ago, and the program is growing. Last year, Spanish was added to the curriculum, and this year, a special music and movement class was added.
For more information about the program, you may stop by for a tour of the facility during regular school hours.
Please note the school will be closed for the holiday break, through Jan. 3. You also can learn more when you visit the Web site at www.redmtUMCpreschool.com.
