Francis T. Bresnahan Elementary School The Port Where Tradition and Innovation Converge

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, our Preschool and PreK programming is limited this year.

 

We are following CDC, Commonwealth of Massachusetts and DESE guidelines and are taking a number of steps to ensure the safety of our students. One of these measures involves reducing class sizes and limiting programming. At this time, we are offering morning Preschool and afternoon Prekindergarten, Monday through Thursday. Students whose IEPs require more service time may attend for extended time to meet their IEP goals.

 

Morning Preschool:                 8:30am to 11:15am

Afternoon Prekindergarten:   12:15pm - 3:00pm

 

All preschool and prekindergarten classes are fully enrolled at this time. We are not accepting any more students for the wait lists at this time.

Preschool: Designed for 3 year olds who are experiencing their first year in school.  It is an integrated program structured through play and meaningful activities in a developmental sequence that is center-based and includes skills embedded during circle time.

 

PreK: Designed for 4 year olds and younger 5 year olds who miss the Kindergarten cut off. The PreK program is a continuation of the 3 year old Preschool program.  PreK incorporates more advanced academic skills and kindergarten readiness skills in alignment with the national common core standards.
