Ready, Set School Preschool Hour

Our Ready Set School Preschool Hour happens every Tuesday at 10:00am.

It is taught by Michele Chatterton a certified and licensed elementary education teacher. This class is for children ages 0-4. We learn about the lessons taught in the Ready Set School Program. We also learn about a letter of the alphabet each week. The children in the class bring something that starts with the letter of the day. Check our calendar to see which letter we are going to be learning about. We also have calendar time where we learn the days of the week, weather, months of the year, etc. We read stores, sing songs, play games and learn a little sign language. Come join the fun!
