Children’s Circle Full Day Preschool is expanding! Beginning September 1, Children's Circle will welcome infants 6 weeks through 15 months to the program. Children's Circle combines full-day flexibility and high-quality teaching to create preschool programs geared to the diverse needs of busy families. A day at Children’s Circle reflects our philosophy that children learn best through meaningful interactions with the world around them in a secure environment. Learning is an active process, whether it happens during a teacher-guided group experience or during free choice play. Children’s Circle Full Day Preschool opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 6:30 p.m., with enrollment options that range from two to five days per week for infants through kindergarten students. Because Children’s Circle offers classes 50 weeks a year, you may register at any time.
