From the Helpston Playhouse and Under Fives
We presently have openings in both our preschool and after-school club. By providing suitable play, education, and care facilities in our warm and supportive atmosphere, Helpston Playhouse Preschool and Out of School Club aims to improve children's development and education. For working parents of three- and four-year-olds as well as eligible 2.5-year-olds, we offer 30-hour or 15-hour government-funded daycare spaces. We have been quite busy making reservations for the adventures that our kids missed last year. There will be more soon. I adore it when he returns home and fills me in on his outdoor activities and appreciation of his surroundings. Preschools don't all provide what you provide. You deserve praise for this. I converse with other parents who have kids in other environments, and I am aware of how fortunate we are.
