PRINCETON — Tiny Tigers Preschool is currently accepting applications for the 2016-17 school year.

Tiny Tigers is in its 27th year. The preschool program is a component of the child care occupations class at Princeton High School. Students enrolled in this course are juniors and seniors who enjoy working with young children and are considering a child-related career. The preschool program is a learning lab designed to provide hands on experiences for high school students and developmentally appropriate activities for preschoolers. Early childhood activities are studied, planned and taught by high school students under the supervision and direction of their high school instructor, Jennifer Wagner.

Tiny Tigers sessions begin in November and continue through mid-May. Sessions meet on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:15 to 10:35 a.m. Children may attend a combination or sessions that fits their schedule. The cost is $2 per day.

Applications are taken throughout the school year, after a child celebrates a third birthday until he/she enters kindergarten. Tiny Tigers Preschool follows the same schedule as Princeton High School for vacations and holidays. Applications can be picked up at Princeton High School in the Main Office.
