Spring break brought with it construction on a new preschool, playground
By HOLLY GASKILL
Construction for Southern Wells Community Schools’ new preschool began over spring break last week.
The construction project is renovating the high school’s previous family and consumer science room into a preschool classroom with a child’s bathroom and observation room. A new playground will also be added nearby.
The preschool, called Southern Wells Little Raiders, will begin in August. The program will be an On My Pre-K program licensed with the state of Indiana and will partner with a new Early Childhood Education course in the high school.
Classroom instruction will be led by a full-time licensed teacher. High school students studying to become teachers will have the opportunity to aid in teaching, maintain classroom materials and observe behaviors and teaching methods.
Applications for both morning and afternoon sessions are open and available on the school’s website or are available at the high school office. Sessions are available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with a morning time from 8:30-11 a.m. and an afternoon time from 12-2:30 p.m.
The preschool costs $80 monthly, with a $25 registration fee and a one-time $50 supply fee. Questions can be directed to the high school at 765-728-5534 or email Kim Conner at kconner@swraiders.com.
