Current Bal Swan Children & Family Programs

Toddlers: 9-month, 2-hour Program - 8:30 to 10:30 or 11:00 to 1:00 on MWF or TTH

This is a 2 hour introduction class to Bal Swan for young 2-year-olds. This class

works on basic routines, social interaction, the beginnings of cognitive

development, motor, language, and self-help skills.

Pre-school: 9-month, half-day Program - 8:30 to 11:30 on MWF or TTH

This is a 3 hour class for the older 2s and younger 3s. It occurs at the same time

as our Pre-Kindergarten program so families can have their children in school at

the same time. This class builds on the toddler program within routines, social

interaction, gross and fine motor, language, self-help, and cognitive development.

Pre-Kindergarten: All 3 ½ and 5 year-old programs are two-year programs. Your 3 ½ year-old

will be able to continue with their same class, teacher, and friends for two years.

During, the first year, your 3 ½ year-old will benefit from watching and playing

with the 4 ½ year-olds and your 3 ½ year old will achieve greater success by

following the older students’ lead. The second year in the program is just as

important as the first. Your 3 ½ year-old is now 4 ½ and gets to be the leader in

the classroom to all the new 3 ½ year-olds, while still being challenged

cognitively by our wonderful teachers.

8:30 to 11:30 on MWF or TTH

12:30 to 3:30 on MWF, TTH, M-TH, or M-F

end on May 18, 2012 and the 12 month programs end on August 10, 2012. Each

program starts on August 29, 2011

12 month full-day Pre-Kindergarten Programs (There are no 9 month options)

8:00 to 3:30 on MWF, TTH, or M-F.

The Full-Day classes will have a rest period, and the children will need to bring a

in the afternoon will be a continuation of all the wonderful activities and lessons.

The children in this classroom will have more time to master skills and work on

projects. It will be fun!

(3:30 to 4:30) This program helps the family that needs a little more time before they pick up

their children. There are limited spots available for this program. Families in the

full-day program will receive priority placement. This program runs year-

round.

Lunch Bunch: Lunch Bunch is a popular program and Bal Swan will place children

(11:30 to 12:30) based on their enrollment date whenever possible. There are limited spots

available for this program.

Lunch Bunch is only a 9 month program, September – May. There is no

lunch bunch the first week of September.

This is our popular lunch program where parents pack their children’s lunches.

During this time, the children socialize about the wonders of the world with their

friends and our excellent staff. Families will need to enroll in this program just

like the main Bal Swan programs. Please remember we are a NO NUT school.

If children bring nut products into the school they will not be able to eat

them. We will provide the child in this situation an alternative lunch.

Thanks for helping us be a safe environment for our children.
