Applications Available for District Preschool Program

Applications are still avaiable for the district's Preschool Education Program at East Brunswick High School for the 2012-2013 school year.

In addition to being residents of East Brunswick, eligible children must be three years of age by Oct. 31, 2012 and not age eligible for kindergarten (5 years of age by Oct. 31, 2012) to participate in the program, which will begin in October.

The Preschool Education Program at East Brunswick High School is a teaching laboratory course for high school juniors and seniors who are interested in child development and/or becoming a teacher. High school students observe, plan, and teach children, 3 to 5 years of age under the supervision of high school teachers who are highly qualified in the area of family and consumer science.

For approximately six weeks at the beginning of the school year, the high school students study child development as well as the guidance techniques and teaching methods needed to work with preschool-aged children. The preschool opens to preschoolers in mid-October. The high school students apply the skills and concepts they have learned to conduct the preschool program.

Applications are due on or before May 14, 2012. Submitting an application does not guarantee entry into the program. Preschool participants are selected based on the information included on the application and applicants will be notified June 14.
