SCASD & MOMS Club Preschool Fair
2017 SCASD & MOMS Club Preschool Fair
The State College Area School District and the MOM’s Club of State College, a support organization for mothers, joined to sponsor the annual Preschool Fair, a valuable opportunity for parents to explore preschool options.
The free fair took place Jan. 7 at Mount Nittany Middle School.
“Our district is happy to host this event,” SCASD Board of School Directors President Amber Concepcion said. “There are so many high-quality preschool programs in our community and we know parents value the opportunity to learn more about the variety of options. Early childhood education is a key priority for providing all kids a great start.”
Representatives from more than 20 local preschools answered questions from families considering the first step in their children’s formal education — a convenient source of information for an important decision.
“The Preschool Fair is an excellent opportunity for receiving valuable information regarding the many different preschool choices in the area,” co-organizer and MOM’s Club member Nicola Rusca said. “It can be overwhelming to decide on the various options. This fair offers one-stop shopping, to meet representatives from preschools providing play or faith based learning, full- or part-time hours, to suit each child and family's different needs.”
District representatives were on hand to explain kindergarten registration, and Soccer Shots, The Makery, Bricks for Kidz, Musikgarten and other community groups provided activities and demonstrations for children.
