Valley Drive Cooperative Preschool offers programs for 2, 3, and 4/5 year olds. In the 2s class, children must be 2-1/2 by September 30 of the school year. For the 3- and 4/5-year-old classes, children must be 3 or 4 by September 30 of the school year. Every attempt will be made to balance the classes with regard to age and sex.
Fluctuations in enrollment may affect the number of classes offered. Valley Drive reserves the right to make adjustments to class size and scheduling.
At Valley Drive we have equipment for both indoor and outdoor play. Each teacher plans the school day with a balance between active and quiet activities. Children are also exposed to various art materials, which encourages creative expression and fine motor development.
