Benefits of Young Fives

The Young Fives Program

The goal of the Young Fives program is to offer
students the “gift of time” to help prepare
for a successful Kindergarten and school experience.
Places greater emphasis on play and exploration.
Offers smaller class sizes.
It is designed for, but not restricted to,children
who turn five between September 1st and
December 1st. Students are selected on parent
request and district screening process.
The emphasis is placed on introduction and
exploration, rather than mastery of kindergarten skills.
The Young Fives Program is held at Red Cedar Elementary.

Both full-day programs include:

Opportunities for students to build social-emotional, academic and creative learning.
Music, Art, Physical Education and Library.
Lunch, recess, and all school assemblies.
