CHANGE OF HOURS AT ARSHAG DICKRANIAN SCHOOL
Trustees Adopt extended pre-K and kindergarten Schedules
Los Angeles, December 17, 2008 – The TCA Arshag Dickranian SchoolBoard
of Trustees has long been in the process of modifying its
Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classrooms into a first rate all
inclusive learning center. In the process, both classrooms were
equipped with all the necessary educational materials and a separate
recreational playground was built through the kind collaboration of
Drs. Petros and Karine Taglyans. Having done all these, the board now
takes pleasure to announce that, as of January 8, 2009, the Gulbenkian
Pre-Kindergarten and the Noubar & Dickranouhi Kindergarten willadd
extended hours to their regular 8:00 a.m. – 3:00
p.m. schedules. Pupils in attendance will have the option to extend
their hours from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. allowing toddlers 2.5 years
of age to enroll.
This change came about when the board members decided that extending
the hours of the Pre-K and Kindergarten sections would relieve working
parents from having to pick up their children from the school during
the day and from hiring caregivers to watch after them until they
return from work. Furthermore, this change will be filled with `child
centered’ activities, which will be both educational and entertaining
for the children. The children will receive an extra meal towards the
end of the day, other than breakfast and lunch.
The Pre-Kindergarten teaching staff is comprised of two well qualified
educators. Ms. Anahit Avetisyan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal
studies, a certificate of Early Childhood Development, and will be
getting her Master’s degree in Early Childhood Development from the
National University this month. She has two years of experience as a
teacher’ s assistant at LAUSD, where she worked with children from
kindergarten to fifth grade. Ms. Avetisyan is dedicated to provide the
best quality of education to the children using modern methods of
teaching. Ms. Nina Lazarian, the Teacher’s Assistant, holds a
Certificate in Child Development Space being limited, interested
parents may contact the school Administrative Office for further
information by calling (323) 461-4377 during office hours.
Located at 1200 North Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, the TCA Arshag
Dickranian Armenian School is a federally tax exempt, Pre-K to 12th
