Newton South Preschool, a public preschool program, is currently accepting applications for September 2022.
Our preschool is a child development lab school and is part of the Family and Consumer Sciences Department at Newton South High School. In addition to providing high quality early education and care for children, the program serves as an internship site for high school students who are taking early childhood courses. We serve children 2.9 - 5 years old. The program is open from 7:30am - 5:00pm and follows the Newton Public Schools calendar. Full day and half day (8:30am-12:45pm) options are available. |
