opportunities  for  their  children,  such  as  ½  day  for  three  or  five  days  a  week  and  also  full  day  for  three  or  five  days  a  week.    Our  K3  teachers  have  many  

years’  experience  and  knowledge  in  working  with  Pre-­‐School  children.  Their  love  and  expertise  in
