Classes & Options
Building Blocks Cooperative Preschool offers flexible options for our mountain children between 18 months and 5 years old, and a few different scheduling options for parents. Each class is overseen by a credentialed teacher, assistant teacher and between 3 and 5 parents. Exceptions to age cut-offs are made on a case-by-case basis.
Teacher Nicole's TTH
Tuesday / Thursday from 8:30-12:30am
Ages: 2-4 yrs
Must be 2 by September 2
Teacher Nicole's Class is all about learning to play! This class is about play dough, sand castles, slime, art, glitter projects, bubbles in the yard, listening to stories, and learning to be part of a class group. Children do not need to be potty trained for this class.
Parent Observation Option: Children older than 18 months are eligible to come with a parent or caregiver and take part in all the daily activities of our Tuesday/Thursday class, learning from the parents and teachers. Toddlers will begin to learn social skills, gain trust in other adults, and embark on fostering friendships with their peer group. Families in this special program are not required to participate in the cooperative aspects of Building Blocks, but are welcome to attend all community events. When the child has been enrolled at least 6 weeks and is two years old, the teacher and parent will discuss transitioning to full enrollment if space is available.

Teacher Sally's Class is all about getting along with friends! This class is about climbing, running, lego creations, marble runs, messy art, science projects, writing your name and looking through books. Children should be mostly potty trained for this class.
Extra Day Program: Older children and siblings enrolled in our 2-day TTH program are occasionally allowed to attend one extra day a week in the MWF class. This program is only offered when we have space in MWF class and is allowed on a case-by-case basis. This can be a good options for siblings that play well together, children with a particular friend in the older class, or older 3-yr olds that are transitioning to more advanced social skills by the end of the year in the TTH Class.

Afternoon Recreation
Afternoon programing varies by year. We are often able to coordinate classes offered by partners after preschool classes end at 12:30. Past classes have included sports camp, gymnastics, music, and robotics.
2021 will be different! Hopefully we can work with our partners to get our afternoon outdoor recreations programs back at Building Blocks.
Summers
For 2021, our Summer Camps are Full! Please contact our membership email to get on a waiting list. Summers are all about water play, sandbox time, gardening, messy projects, sports games on the field, and bookmobile storytimes. We will also have a few pop-up play dates throughout the summer.
