A new preschool is opening soon in the old John Marshall High School building (520 NE Ravenna Blvd).
Cindy and Jared Vandegrift are opening Little Explorers School in the building’s former faculty room on the ground floor. The space will be comprised of one main room, two small rooms and a bathroom.
The Little Explorers Preschool Program will be offered Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., beginning September 2011.
There will be three enrollment options: five days per week (Monday – Friday), three days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday), and two days per week (Tuesday and Thursday).
More information about the Preschool Program can be found on the school’s web page:
The philosophy of Little Explorers is based on integrating art with science while engaging and enriching children through exploration. Our ability to engage children using positive reinforcement and tons of encouragement fosters the opportunity to learn and make new discoveries. Little Explorers seeks to honor each child as an individual and celebrate their creative and unique learning styles. We believe in hands on learning, making connections and discoveries while exploring new concepts. It is our mission at Little Explorers to give children the courage and self confidence to become enlightened, empowered and empathetic individuals.
A Little Explorers Sports Club will also be offered beginning in September. The Sports Club is an afternoon program for children ages 3 to 5 years old.
This summer, the school is offering Little Explorers Enrichment Camps at Ravenna Park and Little Howe Park, as well as a Morning Explorers Camp at the school’s new Green Lake location.
There will be an open house at the school on Friday, June 3, 2011, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Parents are encouraged to bring their children. Applications will be accepted on-site.
For more information about Little Explorers School, or to RSVP to the open house, call (206) 523-1922 or email info [at] littleexplorersseattle.com.
Welcome to Green Lake, Cindy and Jared!
