Second Presbyterian Begins Pre-School

June 1984

Historical June 1984 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

Second Presbyterian Pre-school, a new nursery school serving the Central West End area, will open this fall to children from 2½ to 5 years old.

The school, located in Second Presbyterian Church at Taylor and Westminster, is now accepting applications for the 1984-85 school year. “We had felt for some time that a new pre-school program was needed here and a neighborhood survey strongly confirmed that suspicion,” says Dianne Kraemer, chairperson of the planning committee which worked for a year on the project. “Thanks to the generous help of our committee and congregation, our school will provide a warm and exciting place for children to grow and learn.” The program will include both creative play and a number of structured activities, carefully suited to the child’s age, ability and interest. Class will be held in spacious rooms, freshly decorated and equipped. Outdoor activities will take place in a private, outdoor courtyard.

The school will offer two sessions, one for younger children, on Tuesdays and Thursdays; the second for older children, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, hours will be 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Space is limited since only 16 children will be admitted.

Two teachers will lead them; program director is Linda Kridel, formerly with University Methodist Pre-School.

For an application or an appointment to visit, those interested should call Mrs. Kridel at 367-0366.
