AFTERNOON ENRICHMENT
Afternoon Enrichment offers K’Ton Ton’s four and five year old students an opportunity for an extended day. Class sessions generally meet weekly for four to eight week intervals. Various activities, projects, and stories will incorporate a selected theme. This program takes place at K’Ton Ton following the regularly scheduled morning, so children are asked to bring a dairy or vegetarian lunch. (See our Kosher Policy). Class size is limited in order to provide the participants with individualized attention, and activities can be specialized. Teachers will determine if a child is ready, attentive, and has the ability to actively participate in this extended day program.
KAMP K'TON TON
Kamp K’Ton Ton meets during the summer months. “Kamp” provides children with an enriching, fun-filled experience. The program utilizes K’Ton Ton’s spacious playground. Weather permitting, the majority of the activities are planned for outdoors and include water play, arts & crafts, music, stories, a weekly Shabbat celebration, and exciting themes, chosen specifically for the season. The curriculum is planned by our experienced and creative staff. This is an excellent opportunity for a child new to preschool as well as the returning students. Activities are planned appropriately for the various age and developmental levels.

They may play with puzzles, blocks, and toys, or they can dress up and play in K’Ton Ton’s housekeeping and other activity areas. Children have the opportunity to make friends and feel good about their own school environment. Parent involvement is a very important part of our program. A staff person serves as facilitator and friend to the group.
