Preschool Program Bridges the Gap Between Children and High Schoolers
The Lil’ Raiders Preschool at Hillsborough High School is now enrolling children ages 3-5 years for their January - June session.
Attending Lil’ Raiders Preschool is not only a beneficial introductory school experience for children, but it allows high school juniors and seniors to gain valuable teaching experience. Under the supervision of Miss Jessica Hagood, high school Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, students plan and conduct lessons using the NJ Preschool Standards and Developmentally Appropriate Practices. During their time in the program, little ones participate in circle time, snack, and structured free play centers. The program emphasizes learning through play and building social skills in a supportive one-on-one environment.
The program is offered three days a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays with two sessions daily: 8:40-10:00 or 12:50-2:10. The entire cost, which includes snack and programmatic materials, is $150 for the semester. The application can be found at htps.us and can be e-mailed, mailed, or sent into the high school’s main office.
If you want to learn more or have any questions, please feel free to contact Jessica Hagood at jhagood@htps.us or 908-431-6600 ext. 2372. The program will be hosting an open house in late November for prospective families.
