Preschool
Our preschool program is a traditional preschool program with a small group of no more than 10 students. Our group is a mixed age group of 3 and 4 year olds. We focus on learning through play and explore times. By having a small class of no more than 10 children it gives us the opportunity to get to know each individual child and how they learn and play. We can shift focus quickly or implement activities to meet their learning/socializing needs. We offer a 3 day a week (Tues., Wed., and Thurs) program that runs from the week after Labor Day until the week before Memorial Day in May. We follow the Dare County schools calendar for holidays. Our day starts at drop off between 8:30-8:45 and ends at noon. Tuition is $125/month.
For more information or to schedule a visit of our preschool please email Stephanie Phillips at rippreschool@gmail.com
