Larchmont Preschool Summer Session

Summer Session at the Larchmont Preschool is set to start on June 7, 2010. The program will be a modified version of their typical school day – focusing on weekly projects rather than monthly or yearly – and will accept children from 3 to 7 years of age.

Weekly curriculum will focus on emergent topics that are of interest to the children.  Every Friday will be water play day – so bring on the swimsuits and sunscreen!

The weekly cost will be $200 and parents can choose as many weeks as they would like. Book early because they have have limited space. Call (323) 572-0186 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
