Openings remain for Vantage Preschool

Interested in sending a preschooler to Vantage? There are a few spots still available for this school year, although registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

There are three options for preschool classes this year.  For all options, children must reach the age of 3 by August 1. There is a $25 non-refundable registration fee, which can be paid when you come in to complete the application.

The traditional half-day preschool sessions are the most popular choice. The morning preschool session meets Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. until 10:50 a.m. and is taught by Marcia Osenga, Donna Myers and the senior Early Childhood students.  This session is for 3 year-old children and young 4 year-olds.

The afternoon session also meets Monday through Thursday from 12:00 noon until 2:20 p.m. and is taught by Mrs. Marcia Osenga, Mrs. Donna Myers and the junior Early Childhood students.  This is a pre-kindergarten class for 4 year-olds and young 5 year-olds.

The full day option is available from 8:30 a.m.-2:20 p.m., Monday through Thursday. This is a pre-kindergarten class for 4- and 5 year-olds.  Preschoolers pack their lunch.

Vantage Preschool provides developmentally appropriate activities for the total development of children ages 3-5 years old.

The children experience many hands-on activities in language arts, science, math, kindergarten readiness, literature, and social skills.  High school juniors and seniors who are preparing for a career in early childhood education work directly with the preschoolers by planning and conducting the lessons.  A major benefit for the children who attend the Vantage Preschool is the very low staff-child ratio. There is usually one high school “teacher” to every one or two preschoolers, supervised by the directors. The high school students also receive additional training in first aid, CPR and common childhood illnesses.

To register a child for Vantage Preschool, or for more information, contact Donna Myers or Marcia Osenga at 419.238.5411, extension 137.
