Curriculum Focus
Our part-time program follows the same high-quality curriculum used in our full-time program. Children participate in age-based learning experiences that support social, emotional, and academic development through play, discovery, and hands-on exploration. Even within a shorter schedule, our experienced educators create meaningful learning opportunities that help every child grow in confidence, communication, and curiosity.
Daily Routine
Each half-day session includes circle time, learning activities, outdoor play, meals or snacks, and time for individual discovery. These routines give children structure and comfort while still allowing them to explore, ask questions, and engage with the world around them through play and creativity.
Classroom Experience
Our classrooms are intentionally designed for small groups, allowing teachers to provide individualized attention to each child. With guidance from passionate educators and supportive staff, children experience a nurturing environment where they feel safe exploring, learning, and building relationships with peers.
About Our Part-Time Program
Our part-time preschool program is created for families who want flexibility without sacrificing the benefits of high-quality early childhood education. Some families do not need a full-time program, yet still want their child to experience the social interaction, learning opportunities, and nurturing care that preschool provides. Our half-day programs offer that perfect balance. Children attending our part-time childcare program receive the same thoughtful curriculum, caring teachers, and supportive environment as those enrolled in full-time classes. Our educators understand how valuable each moment of the day can be, which is why every activity, from circle time to outdoor play, is designed to encourage discovery, curiosity, and joy. This approach ensures that even a shorter preschool schedule can provide a rich and meaningful learning experience.
From 6 Weeks to 4 Years: Development Support for Every Stage
Every child grows at their own pace, and our part-time program recognizes the importance of supporting each child as an individual. Whether your little one is attending an infant classroom, toddler program, or part-time preschool, our teachers focus on nurturing development through meaningful interactions, hands-on learning, and positive relationships.
- Individualized Learning and Attention - Every child brings unique strengths, interests, and abilities to the classroom. Our educators take time to observe and understand each child so they can provide learning experiences that support their development.
- Social and Emotional Development - One of the greatest gifts preschool offers is the opportunity to build relationships. In our half-day programs, children learn how to communicate, cooperate, and build friendships in a supportive environment. Teachers guide children as they practice sharing, listening, and expressing emotions in healthy ways.
- Discovery Through Play - Play is a powerful tool for learning. Children develop language, problem-solving, and creative thinking skills through activities such as dramatic play, sensory exploration, art projects, and outdoor adventures.
- Academic Foundations - Even in our part-time preschool schedule, children develop early academic skills that prepare them for future learning. Through storytelling, counting activities, music, and hands-on exploration, children begin building the foundation for literacy, math, and scientific curiosity.

Parker- Chase is a second home to my children. The teachers love my kids as if they were their own and truly care about them. My kids never want to leave when I pick them up and always want to stay and play with their friends or in the kiva. Parker-Chase has truly been a blessing for our family.
