Eagles AM Preschool
Students age 3-5 may attend morning preschool classes from 8:45-11:15 on either a Tuesday-Thursday or a Monday Wednesday Friday schedule.   Students must be toilet trained to attend.  The Eagles program follows the Centerville City Schools calendar from Labor Day through the first week in June.   Monthly topics of interest include either science or social science themes.   Staff use weekly objectives to develop student readiness skills for kindergarten.  Ongoing assessment of students is provided through observation, small group work, and individualized instruction.  Staff document learner progress in weekly language, math,  and self help objectives.  A formal kindergarten recommendation letter is sent home at the end of February for the children who will be five years old by the following September.    Students participate in field trips off-site or attend special events on site monthly.  Parents are encouraged to participate in classroom activities during their child's assigned Student of the Week.  Multicultural education is provided on an ongoing basis through explorations, projects, and resource materials.

The 2009-2010 Eagles School Year was a huge success.  Below are pictures form the school year.  We are now enrolling for the 2010-2011 school year with limited availability remaining.  Please call Terri Bogunia at 937-434-5949 for enrollment information.
