It is well suited for children new to preschool or families who prefer a three-day schedule. The class typically includes 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old students.
Completed registration forms and the registration fee may be mailed to CARE for Children, 723 East Main Street, Bradford, PA 16701, or dropped off at the Ashley Booth Griffin CARE for Children Center beginning Monday, March 16 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. After hours, materials may be placed in the mailbox next to the front door.
