Jean Lyle Children's Center

PROGRAMS AT JEAN LYLE CHILDREN'S CENTER		The Jean Lyle Children's Center has 3-day and 5-day preschool programs and a 5-day kindergarten program. Each of our programs is designed to strengthen and expand the experience and training that you are providing for your child at home.

Our objective is to help each child: to grow in respect for self and others to grow in responsiveness to other people to find joy in learning to live with self and others to gain independence and proficiency in routine tasks to develop skills in use and control of the body, mind and emotions to understand ideas and learn to express them to find and develop his or her own talents to find pleasure in aesthetic experiences
Summer School A summer school of two sessions is available for both new and continuing children ages three to six. The summer school activities are based on central themes. This is a good opportunity for new families to get a brief introduction to the school. The sessions are held in June or July. New students may attend one week as practice for the upcoming year, and returning students may attend both four-day sessions.
