Open House for Museum of Hudson Highland's 2007-8 Pre-K Program
Head Teacher Sandy Dixon announced that the Museum will be holding an "open house" for prospective students for the 2007-8 school year on Tuesday, February 6 from 4pm until 5pm and 6pm until 7pm. This unique program emphasizes science-based activities, outdoor experiences, social skills and preparation for kindergarten using the resources of the Museum including its collection of live animals and its 177 acres of fields, ponds and woodlands. It is in its tenth year of operation.
"It is amazing how much 3 and 4 year olds can learn about nature and science," says Mrs. Dixon. "We hike to the forest, plant seeds, create things from recyclables, draw from nature, observe insects, experiment, identify birds, search for tadpoles and generally have a great time."
The Young Naturalist Program runs from September to June. Children who are three years old by Dec. 1, 2007 (and potty-trained) meet two days a week on Tuesday and Thursday from 9am until 11:45am or 12:15pm until 3pm. Children who are four by Dec. 1, 2007 meet three days a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 am until 11:45am or 12:15pm until 3pm. Mrs. Dixon explained that "current participants or siblings may register first and the 4-year old program has limited openings for next year. We hope that people who are interested, especially in the 3-year old program will be sure to come to the open house and register early."
