Age eligible children are prepared and may progress directly to 1st grade from this kindergarten program.
Enrichment Afternoon Programs:
All three of our classrooms offer an extended day option we call "Enrichment Afternoons." The Afternoon activity time is spent discovering many multi-cultural, science, and art themes.
A.M. children may stay for Enrichment Afternoons if space is available and ratio permits.
Early / Late Care:
A low key, creative activity time for all children needing to extend their regularly scheduled program time.
