The Kindergarten program is intended for children ages 3 to 6 (born between 2011 and 2014). Classes are sometimes divided into two groups, depending on their language skills: Estonian enrichment (for strong Estonian speakers) and Estonian immersion (for introductory Estonian). Classes run on Saturday mornings from 9.30 am until 12.30 pm (ages 5 and 6) or 12.15pm (ages 3 and 4). There is also a parent-and-toddler group for younger children (ages 6 to 36 months), in which the tots are accompanied in the class by a parent. The parent-and-toddler classes take place on Saturday mornings from 9.30am to 11.15 am.
For the 2017-2018 year, course fees for the main programs are $350 (first child), $225 (second child) and $150 (third child). Fees for the parent-and-toddler program are $225 (first child) and $150 (second child). Subsidies are available to help with fees for low-income families. Please bring your child's heath card number to the registration session.
Additional information can be found on the Kindergarten website (http://www.lasteaed.org) or by email teslasteaed@gmail.com.
We are looking forward to meeting the youngest members of our community in September!
