Registration for 2021/2022

Wind & Tide offers a variety of creatively structured Early Childhood programs, designed to provide an exceptional, positive start to education and learning. Each distinct program includes Wind & Tide's signature curriculum, and is tailored to instill a rich love of learning, academic excellence, and most importantly includes lots of fun.

By providing different program options, families have the flexibility to choose a program that best suits their needs and the needs of their child. Available programs starting in September 2021 are listed below:

 

Three-Year-Old Programs
(Children must be three years old by December 31, 2021)

Preschool (2 days/week | 2.5 hours)

Wind & Tide's classic Three-Year-Old Preschool program runs 2.5 hours per day, two days per week (T/Th). With a gradual entry schedule throughout the month of September, this program allows for a paced introduction to social learning and academic understanding. Set in a nurturing, loving classroom environment, it truly makes starting school fun!

Extended-Day Preschool (2 days/week | 4 hours)

Wind & Tide's Extended-Day Three-Year-Old Preschool programs run 4 hours per day, two days per week (T/TH). The expanded format our traditional program, provides additional social and academic learning opportunities. With a longer gradual entry schedule through September and the beginning of October, children also have the opportunity to comfortably transition to the 4-hour day.

Full-Day Program (2 days/week | 6 hours)

When four hours just isn't enough, Wind & Tide's Full-Day Three-Year-Old program packs in six hours of learning twice a week (T/TH). Set in a warm and caring environment, this full-day class provides additional time for children to truly embrace play and academic exploration, as well as the opportunity for deeper social enrichment.

Jr. Kindergarten Three: JK3 (5 days/week | 6 hours)

Wind & Tide features a JK3 program that provides a full-day educational experience that lasts all week long! Designed for three-year-olds that just can't understand why they can't be at "school" every day, Wind & Tide's JK3 program boasts six hours of learning, fun and friendship, five days per week (M-F). This is a great option for families who want extended learning hours for their child, but don't require full-time childcare.

Four-Year-Old Programs
(Children must be four years old by December 31, 2022)

Preschool (3 days/week | 2.5 hours)

Wind & Tide's Four-Year-Old Preschool program provides 2.5 hours of jam-packed learning, three days per week (M/W/F). Our classic program includes phonics, All About Art, World of Wonders, and more. Although not a requirement, most of our four-year-old students have attended a Wind & Tide preschool program before, therefore, there is no gradual entry schedule.

Extended-Day Preschool (3 days/week | 4 hours)

When our classic 2.5 hour class just isn't long enough, Wind & Tide offers an Extended-Day Preschool option for four-year-olds. Running three days per week (M/W/F) for four hours, students get more time to discover, learn and play, as well as enjoy lunchtime with their peers. This is a great introduction to classroom routines and helps to prepare children for Kindergarten.

Full-Day Program (3 days/week | 6 hours)

For children who are still eager for more, Wind & Tide offers a Full-Day Four-Year-Old program that runs for six hours, three days per week (M/W/F). Extension activities and lessons offered in this class format, include educational games, music, phonics, as well as hands-on creative projects. The extended class time also provides more time to reinforce the concepts and experiences children are learning about.

Half-Day Jr. Kindergarten (5 days/week | 2.5 hours)

Designed to gently transition and prepare four-year-olds to a full "school week" before students start Kindergarten, Wind & Tide's Half-Day Junior Kindergarten program runs five day per week (M-F) for 2.5 hours each day. Taught in an engaging classroom setting, this unique half-day format offers students many benefits, including our Kickstart curriculum (extension to Wind & Tide's Four-Year-Old Preschool Phonics curriculum).

Full-Day Jr. Kindergarten (5 days/week | 6 hours)

Wind & Tide's full-day (six hours) Monday through Friday Junior Kindergarten program provides children with a higher teacher:student ratio, and offers additional curriculum modules, enrichment activities and the opportunity for loads of social development. As a full-day program, by the end of the school year, our Jr. Kindergarten students are better equipped and ready to step into full-day Kindergarten.
