In general, all of our toddlers follow a preschool curriculum schedule that ensures each day be spent on developmentally appropriate and stimulating activities. While we usually follow a routine, we also take into consideration the moods of the children on any given day. As our day is an 11.5-hour day, your child may see a change in staff. This usually works quite well and your child will become attached to all their teachers.
Preschool/Pre-Kindergarten "Monkeys, Penguins and Caterpillars":
Beginning in September of each year, Country Village offers preschool and pre-kindergarten. The teacher/student ratio for our preschoolers and pre-kindergartners is 1:10. The preschool program begins promptly at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 12:30 p.m. Extended care is available until 6:00 p.m. for children of parents who require full-time care. Our preschool and pre-kindergartners engage in a variety of activities to build experiences, language skills, counting and patterning and social awareness.
Kindergarten Enrichment:
Our Kindergarten Enrichment Program is designed to supplement our half-day Kindergarteners. The children will have the opportunity to spend the other half of their day in a loving, nurturing environment with a curriculum that compliments that of the Mercer Island School District Kindergarten Classrooms. Your child can spend their morning or afternoon at CVDS with an educated, experienced teacher that can work closely with your child in a quiet setting to provide them with the care and education they need. They will have activities, field trips, projects and time to relax, eat lunch and enjoy the outdoors! Please call today to schedule a tour! (206) 232-7107.
Before/After School Program "Young Campus Kids and Campus Kids":
Country Village Day School also offers a before and after school program for those students in kindergarten through fifth grade attending Mercer Island School District, or St. Monica Elementary School on Mercer Island.
Campus Kids, a classroom within the Upper School,
offers Before and After School activities for children ages 6 through 12.
Early arrivals are supervised until the public school busses pick children
up at Country
Village.
Busses drop children off in the afternoon where children supervised until
parents are able to pick up. Half-day public school kindergartners return
at 12:20 pm and the grade school children at approximately 4:00 pm. We do not
provide transportation for children other than St. Monica's School.
All transportation to the public schools is provided by public school busses
and/or parents. We ask that parents let us know which days each week your child
will be coming to Country Village so we can make sure your child is getting off
of the bus. If not coming, or coming an extra day, we also appreciate a
phone call (206) 232-7107 or email: juliebaileycv@aol.com or lindatcv@aol.com.
Immediately from
the busses, the children are greeted, roll call is taken and they are given a
snack. The remaining hours are homework table, outside play, table games,
projects and interests the students find challenging and interesting.
During school
breaks, public school teacher workdays, or conference days we provide care so
the children enrolled in our Before and After School Program can come to Country Village on
those days. There are usually field trips, swimming, special lunches,
cooking activities or movies planned for those days. These
things are an added cost, but they are also optional. Most students want
to participate in the planned activities.
Country Village provides a Summer
Program that school aged children can participate in.
