SCHEDULE

A few quick notes:

  • We follow the Davis School District calendar, with just two key differences:
    ✨ We start right after Labor Day
    ✨ We end right before Memorial Day

  • We don’t follow early-out days or other school-specific schedule adjustments.

  • Since not all of our classes meet every day, some dates have two listings.
    For example:
    ➤ The 1st day of school for 2-Day and Afternoon Classes is Sept. 2,
    ➤ While the Morning Class begins on Sept. 3.
    (The same applies to the last days in May!)

    Dates for Back to School night and Graduation will be added soon.

Content

Your student's week will consist of an opening circle, character building, literacy instruction and activities using (we use the SEEL program developed by BYU), STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math), learning centers, outside play (weather permitting), and more!  We explore and investigate topics and integrating subjects while hitting the important building blocks of reading and math literacy.  We are academically focused, but still maintain the childlike senses of curiosity and fun! Students at Discovery Adventures Preschool are given many opportunities to share, discover, and grow in their grand preschool adventure!

A basic schedule provides for stability and structure while we incorporate some flexibility to allow for exploration and new ideas.  Kids this young have very short attention spans, so we use movement, music, and variety a lot!
