2.5 - 4 years
Mixed-Age classes
Give your child fun, stimulating learning experiences in our Mixed-Age class.
Our Mixed-Age class is for children 2.5 to 4 years old by September 1. It meets four mornings a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (9:15 am – 12:15 pm). Parents may also add Wednesday mornings to have their child attend five days a week.
Parents have one workday per week in the classroom.
Learning through play
PNS embraces the joyful, spontaneous benefits children receive from exploring and experimenting in a safe and nurturing environment. We believe that this natural and essential activity called “play” is what enhances cognitive, social, and emotional development in children. The merits of play as a vehicle for imagination, discovery, invention, problem-solving, social interaction, self-regulation, creativity, role-playing, and language/literacy development are limitless. In our Mixed-Age program, children begin to learn from each other.
