Rainbow Class

The Rainbow Class is three days a week for kids who turn 4 by July 31. Their room is still play-based, but includes phonics skills through letter of the week and Handwriting Without Tears. Children participate in circle time, art, music, and gross motor play.

Discovery Class

This is an option for a fourth day to those in the Rainbow Class. The Discovery Room is a hands-on class with cooking, science, and other STEM activities that follow the Rainbow Class's letters and themes. If your child stays for Lunch Bunch on Discovery Day, they participate in a Book Club instead of a regular Lunch Bunch.
