4K Enrollment Extravaganza Next Tuesday
We learned something new today at Explore Superior…the Superior School District has a half-day Kindergarten program for 4 year olds! How cool is that?
If you have, or know of a youngster who will be 4 years old on or before September 1, 2015, they are eligible to to attend the Superior Community Preschool (SCP) early education program. The SCP program is designed to prepare children for the following year of kindergarten.
This program is offered at a variety of sites throughout Superior, and the classes run 2½-3 hours, 5 days a week. Sessions are held in the mornings or afternoons depending on the site, and times vary.
Here is a list of the locations you can enroll your youngster at:
• Cooper Elementary
• Four Corners Elementary
• Great Lakes Elementary
• Lake Superior Elementary
• Head Start Center 1
• Head Start Center 2
• Newborn 2 School Education
• Noah’s Ark Daycare
• Superior Children’s Center
• YMCA
To encourage enrollment of children into the 4K program, the Superior Community Preschool is holding an Enrollment Extravaganza on Tuesday, February 10th from 5pm-7pm at the Superior Middle School (Hammond Avenue entrance). Cindy Magnuson, Director of Pre-K Services, expects 100-200 people in attendance, so be sure to be there on time if you hope to enroll your four year old.
Doors open at 5pm, and registration is first-come, first-served for your preferred site based on capacity of each location. NO REGISTRATIONS ARE TAKEN PRIOR TO THIS EVENT.
Other than showing up for the event, all you need are two things, your child’s immunization record, and their birth certificate. Oh yes, you are encouraged to bring your child with you too!
Dinner will be served between 5 pm and 5:45 pm. Then Fun, Games & Dancing to “Sounds Unlimited” begins at 5:45 pm. There will also be drawings for prizes! While registering, parents will be able to meet with SCP teachers and directors for information about what to expect during the 2015-2016 school year.
If you are unable to attend this event, beginning Wednesday, February 11, 2015, registration forms will be available at all participating community sites (listed above), all elementary schools in the School District Of Superior, the Northern Lights Family Resource Center, and the Board of Education Office.
There is no charge for the 4K Superior Community Preschool program. If you require wrap-around care, that is offered at the participating community sites only. If your child attends SCP at a School District site, they can also participate in the Before/After School Program.
Transportation is available (transportation guidelines apply).
Superior Community Preschool children learn through play and the active exploration of their environment. SCP teachers provide quality learning experiences through a balance of structured and unstructured activities and teacher-directed and student-initiated activities, all of which promote creativity and individual expression.
