Power Hour Classes
Power Hour classes are offered by semester, in the fall for our 4 or 5 day (9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) Pre-K and as a combination class with the 3's class in the spring. The classes offered will vary according to interest and availability. Power Hour provides an additional hour of preschool one day of the week. They begin toward the end of September for the fall semester, giving students time to settle in to their regular classroom routine. The spring semester beings mid-January. There is an additional charge for each class paid by semester. Information is sent to parents in August and December detailing which classes will be available. This provides an opportunity for the four’s classes to learn with different teachers, visit different classrooms, and experience special activities. Pricing varies, depending on the number of weeks offered, but is generally less expensive than community center classes.
