Classes at the Palisades Preschool

Tadpoles

Our youngest learners (at least 2 years old on the first day of class) are introduced to a moderately structured routine in a caring, nurturing, play-based environment that offers children a stimulating curriculum and social setting.  Two teachers lead the Tadpole class from 9:00 am-12:00 pm with 3 day (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) or 5 day options (Monday through Friday).  The classroom serves a maximum of 12 children. (Class is currently capped at 8 children due to Covid restrictions)

Polliwogs

2 ½ -3 ½ year olds meet Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm to continue their transition to a Pre-K classroom. Polliwogs are introduced to a structured routine including morning meeting, story time, singing, playing in free choice centers, lots of outdoor play and more.  Two teachers lead in the Polliwog classroom, serving a maximum of 16 children. (Class is currently capped at 8 children due to Covid restrictions)

Frog/Dragonfly Classes

The Frog and Dragonfly classrooms serve 3-5 year olds and meet from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm Monday through Thursday, and until 12:00 pm on Fridays to provide teachers time for collaborative planning.  Children in the Frog and Dragonfly classrooms participate in a balance of child directed experiential play and structured learning activities. With the support of two nurturing teachers, children develop the social-emotional and cognitive skills necessary to be successful in school and beyond. Both classrooms draw on children’s natural curiosity and joy in gaining competence.  Class size is limited to 16. (Classes are currently capped at 8 children due to Covid restrictions)
