Our son was a happy, creative student at SOLA for two years. It is three years later and our daughter is now a student at SOLA. Things have changed as they always do, but the school is still so wonderful. I recommend SOLA to anyone who is looking for a supportive, creative and fun experience for their child.

Preschool After School

7 spots remain for the Preschool After School Program Updated Mar. 21

SOLA’s Preschool Afterschool gives YOU, the working parent, a creative option to seamlessly extend your child’s morning preschool to fit your full day needs. We provide transportation in our SOLA van from your child’s morning Preschool program to SOLA for the remainder of the afternoon—always a song-filled ride. Pickup time can be arranged based on your needs, as early as 3:00 or as late as 6:00.


Our families tell us this option is ideal for:
* Enabling your choice of a morning preschool rather than full-day daycare
* Providing an alternative to an afternoon babysitter and at-home boredom (and mess!)
* Preparing a Pre-K student for the extended school hours ahead in Kindergarten
* Reducing your lunch break pickup challenges


Knowing that Preschoolers come in tired from a morning of academics and structure, our Preschool Afterschool program focuses on development of social skills and enhancing your child’s natural creative skills through art and dramatic play. First students enjoy a civilized, seated lunch together; then they engage in an afternoon of fun, activity and creativity. Since preschoolers get pretty wiggly in the afternoon, we incorporate plenty of exercise—like running, climbing, tag, soccer and capture the flag (you’ll be invited to play at pickup!).
Our space includes an indoor art studio, stage area and reading room and a large, shaded outdoor play yard, options for any type of weather. Our staff includes childcare and multimedia art specialists, all energetic, empathetic and focused on our preschoolers’ comfort and happiness.


Call us today to set up a tour or to reserve your child’s spot.
