Preschool Registration InfoFarm School is the name of our preschool program, and it is designed for children who are 3, 4, or 5 years of age. Katydid’s Farm School is a preschool program established to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can grow emotionally, socially and intellectually through developmentally appropriate experiences.
Our philosophy at Farm School is learning through play. We believe that play is an effective method of learning and develops self-confidence. Children will get a chance to enjoy the sights and sounds of a working farm in a safe, enjoyable atmosphere. They will have the opportunity to observe the farm and its natural surroundings while enhancing their fine and gross motor skills.
For the Fall 2024 classes at Farm School, we will offer both a Core Class Schedule which meets for 3 1/2 hour and a LunchBunch Schedule which extends your child’s day for an extra hour. The youngest, 3-year-olds, must be three by October 31st of the year enrolled and must be potty trained to attend. Depending on the child’s age, class options include two, three, or four days per week.
