Extra-Curricular Classes
Extracurricular Classes at A Great Start Preschool Classes are offered October through May!!!
A Great Start Preschool offers a variety of extracurricular classes each day of the week, during the break between our morning and afternoon sessions (11:20-12:05). Parents do not stay for the class. We will let you know where to drop off/pick up for each class closer to the start date. Children may join at any time throughout the school year, as space allows.
Most classes will begin the first full week in October, and registration information for those classes will be sent home around the second week of school. Watch for more details!
Information about each of these classes will be sent home with all students.

After Care for afternoon students from 2:45-3:10
Amazing Animals: Students will connect with nature through hands on learning, focusing on animals and their habitats
Spiritual Nurture: In a worshipful setting, children pray, sing, have an activity and are offered blessings. In our space, each one’s spiritual growth is encouraged as the group members share their happy and sad times. When comfortable, the children offer the happiness and concerns in their lives. They are listened to, without advice or judgment. Joys and worries are given to God, who is present with us. Activities enable the children to express their feelings in creative ways. Each child receives an affirmation of God’s blessing at the end of each time together. This class is offered by Southminster Church. Age requirement: 3 and up
DAILY:
* Early Care (8:15-8:45am) There is a small fee for your child to attend Early Care. This is a mixed age group, small class size, social-emotional focused enrichment opportunity to enhance your child’s preschool day. Daily Early Care activities may include, but are not limited to: Art, Playground, Gym, Table Toys, Large Motor Games, Free Choice, etc.
* After Care (2:45-3:15pm) There is a small fee for your child to attend After Care. This is a mixed age group, small class size, social-emotional focused enrichment opportunity to enhance your child’s preschool day. Daily Early Care activities may include, but are not limited to: Art, Playground, Gym, Table Toys, Large Motor Games, Free Choice, etc.
Please remember: all classes require a two to four weeks notice to the instructor if you decide to dis-enroll. Some classes will run from October-May, and the instructor assumes you will continue that entire time unless you withdraw by giving the required notice. Other classes will operate on a session basis (perhaps one month or several weeks- refer to forms for more details) and require re-enrollment for the next class.
