LITTLE HAWKS PRESCHOOL

As the Haddon Township High School Child Development teacher , I am thrilled and excited for this years Little Hawks Preschool. Being a HTHS alumni and parent myself, I feel this community program we offer to families in town is so special and important, it helps build bonds and relationships between our teens and their community. The high school students have been working hard to develop lessons and activities that will excite, develop and encourage your little ones. 

Preschool will start with an open house on Friday, January 31st, 2020, 9:35-10:55 am. This will be a time for parents and their little ones to meet the high school students as well as familiarize themselves with the space. There will be activities, games, a craft and snacks. Parents are encouraged to stay for this time to help little ones transition into the new learning environment. 

Regular classes will start Monday February 3rd and run until Wednesday June 3rd, with graduation being held on June 4th. Classes are 9:35-10:55 am Monday thru Thursday in our nursery room (Room 23). 

We encourage your child to attend everyday so the experience can be beneficial to all involved. However, we can be flexible if it works better for your schedule. Children should be between 2-4 years old before the start of Little Hawks and should be fully potty trained. 

Please note that we must be flexible with the Little Hawks schedule due to changes that may occur within the school year due to testing, assemblies, emergency or snow closures. You will be notified ASAP if any schedule changes are necessary.
