Solon Preschools Need Peer Models For Next Year

SOLON, OH — The Solon Schools are looking for children to join the district's preschool program as peer models.

"[Students] engage in center-based learning with peers that helps them develop empathy, learn and model school behaviors such as taking turns and participation, and gain confidence in a Solon school routine," the district said in a statement.

Children, ages 3 to 5, are needed for the program during the 2020-2021 school year. Kids have to be 3-years-old by June 1, 2020 to join the preschool.

Parents can learn more about the district's preschool program at two informational meetings. The first meeting will be held Jan. 16, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and the second meeting will be held Jan. 17, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Both meetings will be held at Solon Preschool, 6546 SOM Center Road.

The Solon preschool holds classes Monday through Thursday for 2.5 hours a day.

"The preschool peer models benefit from participating in developmentally appropriate preschool programming led by master teachers in the field of early education. At Solon Preschool, students are immersed in a diverse learning environment fostering their academic and social-emotional learning and kindergarten readiness," the district said in a statement.
