Ready, Set, Go
2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR
The Ready Set Go Program is designed to introduce children, ages 2-3, to the daily and weekly routine of preschool. Students meet for an hour and 15 minutes each day and class will focus on the children's overall developmental needs by providing a stimulating environment through hands-on experiences and play. The daily curriculum is based on the Future Foxes Preschool, but adapted to meet the needs of this age group. Our goal is to create a welcoming and safe space for your child to confidently grow socially and emotionally with their peers while reinforcing basic educational skills including letter, number, color and shape recognition. Please note, students do not need to be fully potty-trained to enroll within this program; however, parents must be available for diaper changes as needed.

Ready, Set, Go is for children ages 2 and 3. Participants must be 2 by the start of class.
