Hello, Dexter Co-op families and friends! Today, we're excited to share the unique benefits of our afternoon class for 3-year-olds—a magical time filled with learning, exploration, and growth. While our 3’s AM class has captured the hearts of many, we're here to shine a spotlight on the wonders of the afternoon session.
A Peaceful Start to the Day
Mornings can be hectic, but they don't have to be. Our afternoon class offers the gift of time—time for a leisurely breakfast, extra cuddles, or even a morning walk. This relaxed pace sets a positive tone for the rest of the day, allowing children (and parents!) to approach learning with calmness and readiness.
Synchronized with Natural Rhythms
Every child is unique, and so are their sleep patterns. For children that wake up later or take naps earlier in the day, this class is the perfect time to allow them time to wake up. Being well-rested means they're more attentive, engaged, and ready to soak in the joy of learning.
Savoring the Outdoors
There's something special about the afternoon sun—warmer and inviting, perfect for outdoor play. Our afternoon class takes full advantage of this, encouraging children to explore, move, and connect with nature. It's a wonderful way to foster a love for the outdoors and physical activity.
Seamlessly Integrating Family Schedules
An additional benefit of our afternoon class is its harmony with the schedules of families who have older children in school. The time of the afternoon class doesn't conflict with school drop-off times for older siblings, making mornings less stressful for parents. This thoughtful scheduling ensures that parents can manage their time effectively, maintaining a smooth and balanced routine for the whole family. It's just another way we strive to support our Dexter Co-op families in every aspect of their daily lives.
A Smooth Transition to Future Learning
Our afternoon class also serves as a gentle introduction to the structure of a full school day. This experience helps ease the transition to more extended school hours in the future, laying a foundation for a lifetime of learning with enthusiasm and confidence.
At Dexter Co-op, we believe in the power of choice and the value of providing an enriching environment that caters to the needs of every family and child. The afternoon class is not just a time slot; it's a doorway to new possibilities, friendships, and adventures.
We invite you to explore the afternoon class and discover how it can light up your child's world. Let's embrace the journey of learning together, one sunny afternoon at a time.
