Immunization Policy
Hibben Preschool requires all enrolled children to have a current SC Certificate of Immunization on file in the preschool office. We do not accept medical, religious or other exemptions.
What We Offer
Hibben Preschool currently offers mothers’ morning out (MMO), preschool and kindergarten classes. Enrollment in a particular class is based on the child’s age as of September 1. MMO, preschool and 4k classes are from 9:00 a .m. until 12:30, the 5K class is from 8:45 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. Each class follows a daily routine that includes playground time and lunchtime, in addition to a variety of group and independent activities that mix learning with fun. The day can be extended with participation in optional after school activities, which currently include dance, gymnastics, Spanish, Science and karate.
MMO
Children 12-23 months attend two or more mornings per week, with older children together in one room and younger children together in an adjacent room. One year olds attend 2, 3 or 5 mornings per week. A safe, secure and loving environment is provided for these young toddlers as they explore and discover the world around them. Supervised, independent playtime is interspersed with music, songs, stories, and simple craft activities. Steady walkers participate in outdoor playtime, and accommodations are available for those who still need a mid-morning nap to regain their energy after a round of active play.
Preschool
Two and three year olds attend 2, 3 or 5 mornings per week. There are separate classrooms for each age group. Daily activities alternate between creative play and more structured activities, and include table time, circle time, activity centers, lunch, playground time, music, stories and crafts. Weekly chapel time is also included for three year olds. Through these activities, children learn both the social and academic skills necessary for a successful transition to elementary school.
Kindergarten: 4K and 5K
Four year olds attend 4K either four or five mornings per week. Five and six year olds attend 5K five mornings per week. The curriculum is based on SC state standards, with emphasis on math and English/language arts, and children continue to attend music and chapel on a weekly basis. The strong foundation provided in 4K and 5K classes prepares students to successfully transition into the wide variety of public, private, charter and magnet schools in the Charleston area.
