Young Child Program 2025 Fall Thursdays

With a primary teacher and support from
parents, young learners will have a taste of being in a homeschool
cooperative program.  Each week follows a theme with enrichment
activities in science, movement, nature, the arts, math, games, and more
to support whole-child learning and development.  Sample themes include
butterflies, holidays, seeds, snow, harvest, pets, water, and
dinosaurs. Children go outside every day and must always have weather
appropriate attire.  There is also the opportunity to interact with
older students who visit for story time and project help, and during
community recess and lunch time.  Children must come with lunch, snacks,
and a water bottle.  

Because of limited availability, you must get approval to register for Young Child.  Please email [email protected].

The age range is 5-7, with special exceptions made for four-year-olds
who have demonstrated an ability to participate in activities.  

Parents and caregivers are a necessary part of our program and being
on-site for their children in the young chid program gives them a chance
to meet their child’s friends, work with their teachers, and to be an
integral part of all of the behind the scenes efforts that make our
cooperative successful.  

While some families utilize Latitude every day of the week for the
elementary age kids and teens, it is recommended that children who are
five come one day a week during their first semester at Latitude.  When
they are older, the number of days can increase with their increased
independence.  Children must be fully potty-trained and be able to take
care of getting supplies, getting their lunch, and putting on winter
gear.   

Families are asked to donate supplies to cover consumables use or pay a $50 fee.

Young Children who are 5-7 may sometimes enroll in a class for our regular program with permission from the teacher.

If you would like to utilize EFA or CSF money for our program, select that option at checkout. Once the order is received, you will be emailed an invoice to submit to the program for approval.
