MAPLE AVENUE MUSIC

Preschool P.A.L.S: Play And Learn through Song!

Welcome to Maple Avenue Music's preschool program alternative. Mrs. Wenger combines her musical background, preschool experience and Christian faith to create a hybrid learning environment you won't find anywhere else. Plus, the '25-26 school marks a milestone of enrolling a total of 100 students since our start in 2017!

 

While we are not a licensed preschool, our end goal is the same: to prepare students academically for kindergarten. We simply choose to do it in a Christ-centered, musically-enriched setting. Input from Elco kindergarten teachers has helped form our objectives so they are right on track developmentally. Puppets, songs, and games make discoveries fun! 

​

We generally follow Elco's school calendar, but children from all districts are welcome. Homeschoolers too! Our class runs from September through mid-May. We divide the total program cost of $1850 into 10 equal tuition payments, the first of which is due with registration.
