Special Programs

Spring-Mar is excited to present its very popular after school program, Panda Club.  Students in the Navigators (3 and 4-Year-Olds) and Inventors A (Pre-K) classes are eligible for this extracurricular class.  In Panda Club, students have lunch with their friends, enjoy special enrichment activities, and delight in additional outside playground time.  The program runs on a first come, first served basis and closes when maximums are met.  Panda Club runs from 12:15 pm to 1:15 pm and typically runs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  Participants pay $13 per session and there is no minimum number of sessions required.   Sessions are only held if a minimum signup of 3 children is met.

Spring-Mar Playschool is a unique opportunity for children ages 14 to 24 months.  This parent and child class meets once a week on Monday mornings.  Playschool participants get to experience being in a classroom and loosely follow a schedule that is modeled after a typical preschool day, condensed into a 90 minute session.  Class includes stories, music, movement activities, outside time, and visits to the art and block rooms.  Playschool registration is not part of Spring-Mar’s regular admissions and is handled separately by a Spring-Mar representative.  Contact playschool.springmar@gmail.com for more information and fees.
