West Maple Preschool is a play-based program, offering half-day options for 3-year-olds as well as half-day and full-day options for 4-year-olds. Children learn and explore in an age-appropriate and engaging environment.  The curriculum covers many different areas of development:  physical; cognitive; language, communication, and literacy; interpersonal skills and relationships; creative arts; dramatic play; and construction.

 

The preschool program, located at West Maple Elementary School, is tuition-based and licensed by the State of Michigan.  Teachers have a minimum of a four-year degree and experience working with young children.  The maximum staff to child ratio is 1:8.

3’s Preschool

You may choose the Traditional ½ day option, or register for an extended day option.  The extended day option includes time for your child to eat lunch and additional small and large group time with the teachers.  There is no nap on an extended day.

4’s Preschool

You may choose Full Day, Traditional ½ day, or register for Extended Day option.  The extended day option includes time for your child to eat lunch and additional small and large group time with the teachers.  Both 4’s full day and 4’s extended day classes will eat lunch together and have gym time together.  There is no nap for the extended day class.

 3’s Teachers and 4’s Half-day/Extended day Teachers are: Joanne Bloom and Jennifer Savarese

4’s Full Day Teachers are:  Katie Winters and Tracey McDonald

I expect the full-day class will fill up quickly.  The size of Mrs. Winters classroom only allows for 12 students.  Mrs. Bloom's classroom has room for 14, as it is a smidge bigger.
