Coastside Mothers’ Club presents preschool open house, Saturday

Nine Coastside Preschools will be open to the public on April 26 at Coastside Mothers’ Club 14th annual preschool open house hosting nine Coastside preschools from Half Moon Bay to Montara.  The preschools will be open for tours on Saturday, April 26, 2008 from 10am to 1pm.

This year’s open house will feature a kick-off event "School Selection:  What to Look for?"  This short briefing will be held from 9:00am – 10:00am and lead by a local educator who has visited over 200 classrooms.  This session will offer families criteria to consider in evaluating preschools and will provide participants with a five-minute observation tool to use during the open house tours.  RSVP required for this kick-off event, contact: Karen Hoffman, 728-7953.  Location to be determined.

The preschool open house that follows, from 10:00am – 1:00pm, is a great opportunity for interested families to meet directors and teachers, discuss curriculum, daily schedules, and other program information, pick up enrollment forms and inquire about waiting lists.  No RSVP is required for the open house tours.  Attendees may visit any preschool on the list at their leisure during open house hours.

Both events are open to the public, free of charge, as a community service to all Coastside residents.  Children are welcome.
