School Calendar and Session

School Calendar and Session

Small World Preschool prepares a standard school calendar; somewhat similar to that of the Department of Education calendar, with a few exceptions at our discretion. We do not observe waiver days, teacher institute days, the October Fall Break, and several holidays as stated on the DOE calendar. We do observe a two and a half-three week Christmas/Holiday Break, a two week Spring Break, with the school session ending in mid-June. (refer to attached calendar)

Our calendar is presented to parents/guardians upon enrollment. Any revisions (at our discretion), will be passed along to you accordingly. It is the preschool’s practice to send home questionnaires on other holidays not observed within our calendar, for staffing and curriculum adjustment.
