Sno-Valley Indoor Playground brings its 12th annual Preschool Fair to Valley families, 9 a.m., to noon, Saturday, Jan. 24 at Mount Si High School.
Between new Common Core requirements and the state’s prediction of increased K-12 enrollment in the next decade, it’s important to ensure young children are prepared for Kindergarten.
Developed to help local parents navigate Kindergarten readiness, the 2015 Snoqualmie Valley Preschool Education and Enrichment Fair is free to the public.
“Our preschool fair is an incredible opportunity for local organizations that cater to preschool-aged children to showcase their individual programs,” said Heather Morris Tuip, president of the Sno-Valley Indoor Playground. “Many preschools begin their open enrollment periods in late January, so our event is well-timed for families facing such an important decision.”
Fair participants will have access to teachers, day care facilities, enrichment programs, and other services. They will also receive a free Resource Guide, with details on organizations at the fair, coupons, and information on local parks and other Valley resources for families.
“More than 30 preschools and local businesses will present their services to attendees. We provide kid-friendly activities and demonstrations to entertain little ones while their parents speak with vendors, added Tuip.
The Sno-Valley Indoor Playground is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that offers community programs for families with children up to age 5.
