2015-2016 Preschool and Elementary Extended Day Information The Preschool and the Elementary Extended Day Program are both outreach ministries of the Mariemont Church and teach simple Christian truths and values. The preschool is also a traditional program for children ages 2, 3, 4, or 5, and the Extended Day Program is designed to be a support to parents who have children currently enrolled in the Mariemont Elementary School. Both programs help children develop social, emotional and cognitive skills while engaging in various learning centers and participating in small and large group activities. Children also enhance their motor skills while playing with manipulatives and participating with indoor/outdoor activities. We believe the foundations for academic success are laid through building self confidence, allowing the child to progress at his/her own pace, and providing a Elementary Extended Day Program- The week day extended care program begins at 7:00am and then at 8:20, the children are transported to school.
