Program
Little Learners
HEParks play school programs offer structured play experiences that prepare children for kindergarten success. Through guided activities, storytelling, music, art, and group play, children develop social skills, following directions, and classroom routines. Caring instructors foster independence, curiosity, and a love of learning in every session.
2’s
This class is available for children who turn 2 before December 31 of the school year. Children will learn socialization and early cognitive skills through songs, stories, crafts, and free play. Children may still be in diapers or pull-ups, but teachers do not change diapers during class time.
**Participants in Little Learners 2’s class will receive priority registration for next year’s preschool program.
3’s
This pre-preschool program is designed for children who turn 3 years old between September 1 and December 31 of the school year. It is taught by a preschool teacher in a preschool classroom setting. Activities include songs, stories, free play at learning centers, crafts, outdoor fun, and gym time.
**Participants in 3’s Little Learners will receive priority registration for next year’s preschool program.
