Introducing School to Children Under 2


The International Preschools (IPS) is excited to offer a pre-separation class for children ages 12 to 22 months.
In 1963, IPS began as a playgroup serving the needs of young children of international families. Over 60 years later, we continue to provide a nurturing, welcoming environment for all young children and families.
In this introduction to school, an experienced IPS teacher will facilitate structured free play, art projects, storytime, music and snack for your child. During the 90 minutes, children will learn how to come together as a group and become accustomed to routines. We encourage children attend 2 to 3 days per week.
Every child must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver for the entirety of each session. If a child misses a session, there can be no refund. In case IPS must cancel a session, we will make every effort to notify parents in advance and to reschedule the class.
We invite you to become a part of our community by joining the IPS Playgroup! If you are interested in joining, please complete the Playgroup Interest Form. Our director of admissions, Martha Smeaton, will contact you to complete registration.
