Taste of Mt.
Laurel moved
to Harrington to
accommodate
more residents
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
When Taste of Mt. Laurel started in 2010, it was a small event. It
was held only for senior citizens,
and the venue was the Mt. Laurel
Community Center.
Within six years, Taste of Mt.
Laurel has upgraded venues,
opened its doors to all township
residents and now stands with
Fall Festival as the two best attended township events of the
year. The sixth annual Taste of
Mt. Laurel will be held on Thursday, March 19 at 6:30 p.m. at Harrington Middle School.
The event is upgrading to a
larger location for the second
time in three years. In 2013, the
event moved from the Mt. Laurel

The Sun
Last March, the Mt. Laurel
Board of Education approved an
extended kindergarten option
after receiving a sizable amount
of interest from parents.
About six months into the programs inaugural year, positive
feedback and a steadily increasing enrollment have parents interested in enrolling their child in
the program for next year.
With kindergarten registration
well underway, district director of
communications Marie Reynolds
said many parents have expressed interest in the program
for next year. Parents can enroll
their child in EKO when they register for regular kindergarten
classes. The district plans to have
one room in each school for the
program again in 2015-16.
Many people have called here
and asked how to get the EKO
form for the program, Reynolds
said. Theyre coming in at a pretty good rate.
Extended kindergarten is a
center-based learning system
where students reinforce skills
taught in regular kindergarten
class, engage in fun and interactivity activities and have time for
more social-emotional development.
Students enrolled in half-day
kindergarten have the option of
attending extended kindergarten.
Students in morning kindergarten attend EKO in the afternoon and students in afternoon
kindergarten attend EKO in the
morning.
The program is tuition based
with the tuition fee $400 per
month.
Interest in extended kindergarten has increased as the
school year has progressed.
Reynolds said enrollment numbers in EKO have continued to
grow since September.
It started off slowly, but we
left enrollment open throughout
the year and we continued having
people coming in throughout the
856-547-4850
www.greensideupsod.com
year, she said.
Suzanne Haftman, supervisor
for community education and extended day care, and Diane
Willard, director of child study
team services, updated the Mt.
Laurel Board of Education on the
programs progress at its Feb. 24
meeting.
They said the success of the
program this year will allow it to
continue through next year and
likely beyond.
Each of Mt. Laurels six elementary schools has one room
dedicated to extended kindergarten. Right now, the district has
132 students enrolled in the program.
The district has rolling admission throughout the year as space
allows.
Springville and Fleetwood
Schools have both filled all of
their EKO spots this year. The
large amount of interest in the
program stems from positive reaction from parents, staff and district officials in the programs inaugural year.
Reynolds believes the program
has exceeded many peoples expectations.
In the EKO program, they are
doing things that are so productive, Reynolds said. The children are very happy. The staff is
very warm.
Haftman said the program has
exceeded parents expectations,
with many parents being excited
with the amount of individual attention their children are getting,
the interactive aspects of the program and how their children are
building upon what they learn
during their regular kindergarten class.
Reynolds credits much of the
programs success to the EKO
teachers and staff.
She said the staff did a great
job with coming up with interactive activities and new ways to engage the students.
Were very pleased with the
outcome, Reynolds said. They
were so excited and enthusiastic
and had great ideas.
