The Tepee Program, located at Cedar
Elementary School, offers a full-day program
for four-year old children of Hanover school
staff and a half-day program for Cedar
School kindergartners. The Program was
created in 1988 and is supported through
tuition paid for by the parents of the
children in the program. Tepee provides a
variety of rich experiences and stimulating
activities including arts and craft
activities, computers, songs and finger
plays, games, circle-time, story-time,
indoor and outdoor play. The Tepee Program
runs from Monday through Friday, following
the same holidays, vacations, professional
development days, and snow-day cancellations
as the Hanover Schools. |

| There is a $50 registration fee for all
children. Registration fees are refundable
only if we cannot accommodate your child.
Applications for enrollment are available at
kindergarten registration on March 10, 2008.
All applications will be date-stamped when
received by Mrs. Gilmartin (dated no earlier
than March 10th) and held until the A.M. and
P.M. placements for kindergarten are
established by Cedar School. Priority will
be given to requests for five-days per week
received by April 1, 2008 (priority then
goes to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day requests).
Applications received after April 1, 2008
will be placed on waitlist status and
processed as space permits. All applicants
will be notified in writing as to their
child’s acceptance to the program or
waitlist status. Upon notification of
acceptance to the program, tuition for the
first two weeks in September must be
submitted in order to guarantee placement
for September enrollment. Once accepted, any
reduction in the number of days may result
in a change in status. Applicants who do not
get accepted will automatically be placed on
the waiting list. Fluctuating schedules
cannot be accommodated. Tepee sessions will
also reverse in late January when
kindergarten reverses.
