School Year 2024-2025: PRESCHOOL
WESTONKA ADVENTURE CLUB (AGES 3 - 4 & 4 - 5)

Westonka Adventure Club is the premier School-Age Care Program of Westonka Public Schools!
Preschool Adventure Club is for children ages 3 - 4 & 4 - 5 who are fully toilet trained.
All Preschool Adventure Club children MUST also be enrolled in a Westonka Community Preschool program. Adventure Club uses the same Creative Curriculum and Pyramid Model (social/emotional framework) as the Preschool program to offer children an extension to their day. The Adventure Club staff and Preschool teachers collaborate together to assist in the development of the whole child.

Early Learning Center (ages 4-5) - 5702 Game Farm Road

Hours:
7:00 am – 5:30 pm Monday – Friday on days when Preschool is in session

Registration:  New This Year
Due to the structure of Preschool & Adventure Club there have been significantly more typically-developed students applying for admission than there are available seats. A priority-based lottery is the simplest and most equitable way to allocate those limited seats.

Registration: www.westonkace.org

• Registration opens to everyone on Monday, March 4 at 8:00 am and will be open until Friday, March 8 at 4:00 pm.
• Families will be placed into a lottery, so the day and time you register will not matter.

• The approval process will begin on Monday, March 11.
• Families will be notified of their placement by Thursday, March 21, 2024, via an email.
• Once we are at maximum capacity, we will put families in a lottery for a waiting list.
