PRESCHOOL

A wraparound program preparing young children for lifelong learning, the SNACS Preschool program creates a safe, stimulating, and inspiring space for eager minds and active bodies to explore their world, acquire new skills, and engage with others. The SNACS Preschool program is a separate entity from the charter school and is a partner organization program serving students in early childhood education and offers a before/after school program.
