The Family and Consumer Science Department of Pascack Valley and Pascack Hills
High Schools is now accepting applications for their Preschool Programs for the 2019-
2020 school year. Registration will take place between now and March 1, 2019. The
Preschools are part of the Early Childhood & Family Education Course. The programs
enable the high school student to work with and observe young children while learning
about child development and parenting. High school students are also provided with new
and responsible roles by working with young children, learning skills and competencies
they can use as preparation for parenthood and/or child service careers.
The preschoolers are provided with opportunities for educational experiences associated
with children their own age, both in play and regularly scheduled activities prepared and
conducted by high school students.
The classes will be in session four days per week. The anticipated schedule will be Tuesday
through Friday from the beginning of October through the beginning of June. There are
openings in the program for both 3-year-olds as well as 4-year-olds. The programs are
available only to children who are at least 3 years old by October 1, 2019, and who reside in
the Pascack Valley Regional High School District. The children are selected for the
programs via a lottery.
