Massapequa High School To Sponsor Preschool Program

MASSAPEQUA, NY - Massapequa High School’s Family and Consumer Sciences Department will once again sponsor a preschool program for district residents in the spring.

High school students enrolled in the Child Study course have successfully completed the Parenting and Child Development course and are now ready for a hands-on approach to learning.

The students will plan, prepare and implement interdisciplinary activities within a thematic unit for the preschool students.

Preschool will begin on or around March 12, 2018 and continue for approximately 11 weeks to “graduation.”

There are two sessions: Tuesdays and Thursdays or Wednesdays and Fridays, each from 9:55 a.m.to 12:45 p.m.

Children must attend both days of the chosen session. A donation of $60 per child to help defray
expenses is encouraged.

To be eligible, children must be between the ages of 3, as of March 12, 2018, and 5 but not attending kindergarten and must be toilet trained.

Enrollment in the popular program is limited to 18 children per session and selection will be by lottery drawing with Massapequa residents and previous students receiving priority.

Applications are available at Massapequa High School’s front security desk and general office through Dec. 23 and can be picked up on school days between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Applications may also be downloaded here. Copies of completed applications must be returned to the high school’s general office by Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2018, and acceptance notifications will be emailed later than month.

If you have any questions, contact child study Director Anna Fierro-Gregg by email at agregg@msd23.org.
