Program

Shining Light Preschool offers part-time programs for children ages 2-5. Diapers are OK.

We are pleased to offer small classes with 10 to 12 children per class and a ratio of 1 to 6 per adult (including the Co-op).

Our Tranisitional Kindergarten curriculum is designed to equip children to succeed in Kindergarten by fostering Kindergarten readiness skills through Zoo Phonics & Handwriting without Tears. This program is geared to further prepare children for the next journey into Kindergarten. Come visit a class!

Parent Co-op

An integral part of our program is the parent co-op, which involves serving as a classroom helper in your child’s class approximately once a month. In order to make scheduling as easy as possible, parents have the opportunity to sign-up online for their Co-op Days the week before school starts. Parents also receive a Class List and have the chance to trade/change these days throughout the school year. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to particiate in the classroom, SLP also offers Non Co-op spots for a small fee. We can talk more about this option during your visit.
