2023-2024 Programs
In the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, FPNS has designed two mixed-age programs, both structured as half-day sessions. To secure enrollment at the start of the academic year, children need to have turned 2 by September 1st of the enrolling year. Your child has the flexibility to attend 2, 3, or 4 days a week, with all options incurring the same tuition. In the vein of being a co-op, we require parent/family participation once a week per child. This involvement can be fulfilled by a parent, grandparent, nanny, or any other family member.
Program overview: Teachers begin the day by welcoming all students and offering free play, age-appropriate activities. Our circle time and story time offer opportunities for children to further develop social, and literacy skills as well as body awareness. The children engage in indoor and outdoor free play and small group activities. Teachers and parents plan activities using open-ended materials to encourage children to be creative and problem solve. It's an amazing feeling to know that you have an entire community of parents working to help your child grow and develop to their full potential! At the end of the day the teacher brings the children back together for a closing circle and a goodbye song.
