Register for Mom & Tot class The Glen Rock Community School’s Terrific for Tots Preschool is currently registering students for its Mom & Tot classes. The program, which was originated by the GRCS over 20 years ago, is designed to meet the needs of toddlers. Children who will be 18 months through 30 months by Oct. 1, 2013 are invited to attend with an adult. Classes encourage speech, motor, social, and emotional skills through play and group interaction. Each class begins with a freeplay period. Children then participate in separate, planned activities while parents join in a group discussion on topics relevant to today’s young families. The class will meet in the Central Elementary School. The Terrific Tots afternoon class for four-year-olds still has a few spots available. This program is held Monday through Thursday. Students can also enjoy an optional Lunch Bunch program for an extra hour of food and fun with friends.
