2020-21 School Year

Due to COVID-19 and County and State Health Dept recommendations, the Board and Teachers of APPS are offering an online program featuring our 3 day and 4 day classes. Our goals and philosophy remain the same as on our curriculum page.

Schedule for 2020-2021

  • Semester 1 – September 8 – December 18
    Online Only Classes
  • Semester 2 – January 4 – May 21
    Online Only Classes
    We will continue our academic year with online-only classes due to COVID-19, and are building on the successes from semester 1. Both ZOOM classes and our Private YouTube library will be available to each enrolled student.

Included with Our Online Only Program

  • Live online classes with a maximum of 12 children. Sessions will be held on Zoom, through a secure and password-protected group. The content will include our virtual circle time, storytime, music & movement, art, science, sensory, letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other parts of our curriculum.

Each class has four session times. When you apply, you’ll have a chance to make your schedule preferences known, and we will do our best to accommodate your family needs.

  • Access to the APPS private YouTube Activity Library. New content, featuring APPS teachers, uploaded weekly and available for 4 weeks. Content will include (but not be limited to) Storytime, Music & Movement Activities, Art, Science, Sensory, Letters, Numbers, Colors, Shapes, etc.
  • Weekly Parent Education sessions.  We are a recognized Positive Discipline Lab School. Our Certified Positive Discipline Trainer Cathy Kawakami will host 90 minute weekly live parenting sessions. This is a great opportunity to connect with other parents in your child’s class to discuss parenting challenges and focus on solutions. Through guided activities and discussions you’ll learn to understand your child better, learn and practice positive parenting skills and get encouragement to be your best self. Additional parent education videos will be available through our online library and Positive Discipline preschool classes will also be available through www.middlegroundparenting.com.

Program Requirements

  • There will be no participation requirements other than assisting your child at home as needed (encouraging participation, providing necessary materials, etc.), and attendance at general meetings and parent education conferences (as scheduled)
  • Families must commit to a minimum of an  entire semester.
