Inside Track provides a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for young children in which they can grow physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively. It provides opportunities for children to build self-esteem, increase socialization, stimulate self-help skills and promote safety awareness. The teachers and associate teachers are specially trained to work with young children and to provide a developmentally appropriate learning environment.
The Inside Track program operates morning and afternoon
classes for 2½ hours, Monday through Thursday, from mid-September to May at
Justus Gage Elementary School.
• AM Class: 8:50-11:30 AM
• PM Class: 12:40- 3:20 PM
Parents and/or guardians are responsible to arrange transportation for children
to and from the classroom. However, transportation between two licensed daycare
centers in Dowagiac is available.
To apply for the program, your child must be:
• 4 years old ON or before December 1 of the
current school year
• a resident of the school district
• NOT eligible for Head Start.
