Our Preschool classes cater to children who will be three-years-old by the start of school through age four. While it is preferred that students are potty-trained or in the process of becoming potty-trained, it is not a strict requirement. Classes meet each weekday morning from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with supplemental options for both full-time and part-time enrollment. No prior exposure to French or Spanish is necessary for participation.
