Early Childhood Family Education
Early childhood is an important time of development for our youngest learners. We understand how important the early years are, and support families with both Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) classes and events, and three preschool options.
Hop-Kids Activities
Look to Hop-Kids for preschool age activities. Hop-Kids provides opportunities for playing and learning that are fun, nurturing, and safe. We believe children learn best through meaningful, interactive play. Our classes offer an introduction to a variety of sport fundamentals, play adventures, and STEM skills taught by passionate instructors who encourage curiosity, discovery, and problem-solving!
Hopkins Half-day Preschool

Preschool offers a choice of classes that are three or five half-days per week for children ages 3-5.
