Bridging Preschool and Kindergarten
With a 5-hour day, the Extended Day program may have a schedule similar to Kindergarten, but we leave plenty of room for our four-year olds to grow and adapt throughout the year to be ready to meet Kindergarten expectations.
Four Year Olds spend their year at Friends Together developing the problem solving, social and thinking skills needed to succeed in Kindergarten. We call our students “Friends” for a reason – we emphasize sharing, collaboration, respect and positive communication. In addition to studying letters, numbers and other academic concepts, we have special units of study throughout the year, and guest speakers come and teach specific topics.
Our Special Programs
In addition to covering the ABCs and 123s, we have many special programs during the year. They include:
