 New! 4 day/wk preschool for next year open to both 3 and 4 year olds! Many schools have made the change to 3 & 4 year old combination preschool classes.  We have recently made the decision that we are able to pilot the first-ever preschool "combo" class at Fall River during the 2017-18 school year!  We will be updating our registration forms to show that our 4 day a week program (M-Th PM class) is open to both 3 and 4 year olds for the 2017-18 school year.  Our fabulous preschool team will provide differentiation to meet all students' needs, and hopefully, this will provide more scheduling options to our families.  See Ms. Danielle or Ms. Nichole with questions!
