JEC
Hi guys!
The JEC (just next door to Susitna, we operate a preschool and before/afterschool care for many Susitna Optional kids as well as camps) is starting a new part time preschool program for kids ages 3-5 years old. It will be morning or afternoon sessions and 2, 3, or 5 days a week. We have always had demand for this care and now we will be able to reach more families.
It parallels school hours and might be great for families with kids in Susitna already who want to get their younger siblings ready for kindergarten.
The JEC phone is 337-1672, www.jecalaska.com

We perform functions similar to a PTA and we work closely with the teachers in the Optional Program, as well as Susitna's PTA. Key responsibilities include: assisting with PACT days (Parents and Children Together), Intensives, with Community Outreach projects, and with events like the Fall Ice Cream Social, The Spring Family Dance, spring/fall Bike Ride/Picnic, and the Year-End Barbecue.
