Preschool Playcare

Our Preschool Playcare program engages children in rich exploratory play in our forest spaces, outdoor play yard, and indoor classroom spaces. Through open-ended play with experienced educators, children build their language skills, social-emotional skills, and creativity.

This program is open to 3 & 4 year-olds.

Class Fees & Our Sliding Scale Approach

We believe that access to education should be open to all, regardless of financial resources. As a result, many of our community programs are free of charge. For other programs, we charge a sliding scale fee to cover our costs. You may self-select your sliding scale fee upon registration. We provide income brackets as a guideline, but we also understand that each family’s situation is different. As you select your sliding scale fee, we ask you to be mindful of the fact that the long-term sustainability of our programs depends on our community members stretching a bit to contribute what they can, while also being realistic about what they need.
