The North Branch School offers an opportunity for you to spend time WITH your children. It is not a preschool, nursery school, or drop-off daycare. It is a family-centered session with emphasis on strengthening your family. Whether you are employed or at home, single, teenaged, ECFE is for all district residents who are the parents of young children. (Grandparents and legal guardians are welcome, too) Signers are available for hearing impaired parents. Special arrangements can be made for any special needs within the family. Our preschool programs are designed to support your child's development so they will have the confidence, independence, and social skills to continue as successful learners. The classrooms and activities are designed to provide a variety of fun and meaningful hands-on learning experiences in the areas of science, art, dramatic play, music, sensory, and language development.
