Registration For Free Preschool Program At Bensalem High School Now Open

Local residents with small children are invited to participate in a free pre-school program at Bensalem High School.

According to information from the Bensalem Township School District, the free two-hour pre-school is part of a Child Development Course offered by the Family and Consumer Science Department at Bensalem High School.

By participating in the program, high school students gain knowledge and skills working with pre-school children. "There is no charge for participation and the pre-school is not designed to serve as a day care center for working parents," the school district said.

There is space available in the afternoon session, which goes from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., beginning on Oct. 31 and ending in late May.

Enrollment is open to children who turned four by Aug. 31, 2016.

A parent or guardian must register their child. Registration will close as soon as the class reaches 15 children. Participating children must live in the Bensalem Township School District and parents may not be employed by the school district.

The pre-school operates on the high school schedule. If there is no school for high school students, there will be no pre-school. No transportation is provided.

For information and registration, contact Anne Schneller at aschneller@bensalemsd.org.

Bensalem High School is located at 4319 Hulmeville Road
