Finn Murphy of Murrysville dances during the Franklin Regional Playschool Program graduation on Thursday, May 12, 2016 in the library of Franklin Regional Senior High School. As part of the high school's early childhood development class, the toddlers who take part in the program “graduate” at the end of the school year. Students in the class serve as teachers for the toddlers while getting hands-on experience with early childhood development.
The Franklin Regional High School Playschool program — a preschool program for children ages 3, 4 and 5 — is accepting applications.
The program functions as a learning laboratory for students in the district’s Child Development II class, with an emphasis on learning through play.
Sessions will take place from 8:55 to 10:35 a.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The spring session will begin Feb. 19. Applications can be found online at www.franklinregional.k12.pa.us under the “Parent” tab.
Participants will go on a field trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo during the spring session. Fall participants will go to the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum.
