The Fireflies light up at the chance to try out new activities.  Math and science play a fun part in the Fireflies lesson plans.  Social and life skills also help our 4’s glow with pride.  At Ducklings, 4 year olds are also eligible to participate in a half-day preschool program, which runs from Labor Day – Memorial Day.
