Our Programs
We run Nursery School, Summer Camp, Before and After School, P.A. Day and School Holiday programs in addition to toddler and preschool programs. Priority is given to full time care and, in the event that we are reaching full enrollment, a part time space could be “bumped” by someone requiring full time care. We are open from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holiday closures.

HALF DAY PROGRAM: Provides care for children 18 months – 5 years with a half day program consisting of 5 hours including lunch. This program runs from 9 - 2 or from 10 - 3, based on availability. Days must be locked in, at a minimum of two days per week.
