At ILS, our half-day Preschool and Pre-K gives children the chance to explore the arts in a fun, enriching environment! From painting and music to movement and drama, each day is designed to spark creativity and foster a love for learning. Half-day preschool and Pre-K programs are the sweet spot for early education, offering just the right amount of structure and play without overloading young minds.
Here’s why they’re a fantastic choice for so many families:
Engaged Learning, Minus the Burnout
Half-day programs allow kids to dive into core activities without exhausting their attention spans. With a few focused hours of learning, kids stay energized, eager, and excited about each school day.
A Smooth Start to School Routines
For many, a half-day setup is a gentle way to experience school. Kids learn classroom routines, follow instructions, and interact with classmates, all of which set them up for longer days and more structured schedules in Kindergarten and beyond.
The Perfect Balance of Play and Rest
Half-days give little learners the chance to refresh at home. With afternoons free, they can explore, play, or wind down, processing what they learned in class. It’s also a great way for families to add some unstructured fun to the day.
Building Friendships and Social Skills
In a half-day program, kids get to meet friends, develop social skills, and learn empathy in a welcoming environment. These early friendships build confidence and prepare them for positive relationships in the future.
Half-day preschool and Pre-K programs offer a joyful blend of learning, structure, and play, creating a well-rounded, supportive start to your child’s educational journey! Learn more about our unique arts-focused half-day curriculum here.
