Shakopee Community Education

Parent and Pre-K: Preschoolers are excited to explore the world and meet new friends. These classes include a parent/child play time, a circle time and a separation time where parents will enjoy a time for discussion with one of our Parent and Family Educators while your preschooler continues to explore their classroom and build peer relationships, confidence, and independence with guidance from their Early Childhood teacher.

Parent and Pre-K-Explorers of Tomorrow : Prepare your child for a world of limitless possibilities in our “Explorers of Tomorrow” preschool class. This engaging program invites both children and parents to embark on a journey of discovery, fostering a lifelong love for learning and exploration through a blend of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), outdoor adventures, yoga, literature and other creative activities. Parents will enjoy a parent education time, separating from their child for a portion of each class.

Peek into Preschool - Lunch Bunch: This special one-hour “Add On” to Peek into Preschool will support students in learning all about the lunch room - how to hold a lunch tray, go through the lunch line, sit at a cafeteria lunch table, open a milk carton, and so much more. The Early Childhood Teacher and the Early Childhood Para will support each child as they learn these skills.

Parent and Threes: Join us for this special class that is designed just for a 3 yr old’s social/emotional, physical and cognitive development. Each class time will allow for you and your child to explore the classroom, join in a circle time filled with songs, fingerplays and motor activities, and end with a separation time where parents will meet with a licensed parent educator to talk about various topics chosen by the group ( based around the development of a 3 year old) while the children stay engaged in play and social interaction with their peers and our Early Childhood staff.
