Curriculum
In order to help members lead the best classes for their children, we've created a curriculum of suggested topics for each week. Each class will receive a calendar of themes that is perfectly designed for the developmental level of that class age. The curriculum includes varied topics such as:
- Insects
- Weather
- Outerspace
- Life on a Farm
- Dr. Seuss Day
- Pirates and Princesses
- Circus
- Measuring
- Making New Friends
- ....and so much more!
Classes are made up of no less than 4 families. Typically, classes consist of about 5-10 enrolled children plus tagalongs.
Classes are not predetermined. Rather, parents who fill out the registration form on the Enrollment Page indicate which days and times of the week that they are available for playgroup. FCP will collect registration forms and fees. Then, in August the Registrar will match up parents who have children of similar age AND the same availability. We will notify you of your class day and time once classes are formed. Once classes are formed, all tuitions are nonrefundable. The parent stays on the premises at all times with their child. Tagalongs are welcome for an additional fee. Tagalongs are younger siblings to the enrolled child.
