Welcome to Little Hawks Nursery School!
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The Haddon Township High School Child Development class is thrilled and excited to announce that Little Hawks Preschool will be reopening this March!
After a year and a half of being closed we are looking forward to opening our doors to our community's preschoolers.
Being a HTHS alumni and parent myself, I feel this community program we offer to families 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 Tuesday, March 1st, 2022, 10:15-11:15 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 Wednesday March 2nd and run until Wednesday June 1st, with graduation being held on June 2nd. Classes are held 10:10-11:30 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.
Little Hawks Preschool is a totally free program. There is no fee but you may be requested to offer snacks or other supplies during the course of the program.
All applications (electronic or paper) must be turned in by March 1st (paper applications are available in the high school main office and may be turned in there as well).
Due to Covid and CDC guidelines we are currently only offering only 12 spots to insure social distancing. Masks must be worn during the class, all current CDC guidelines for child care facilities will be followed. Please know that those guidelines are often changing so flexibility will be the word of the year. 0 positions available for the program and acceptance will be on a first come first serve basis. You will receive a welcome packet with more information by January 23rd. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me, Kate Tharp-Schafer at ktharpschafer@htsd.us.
I look forward to working with you and your children,
Kate Tharp-Schafer
