Preschool
Children in our preschool classrooms range in age from 2.9 years to approximately 6 years old.
Our preschool program consists of two classrooms: the Navigators and the Voyagers. Our adult-to-child ratio for both rooms is 1:4.
Hours
The School Year Program runs Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., from the last week in August through late June.
All contracts are for full-time childcare and are paid on that basis (unless otherwise contracted for part-week care). However, the hours each child attends may vary according to the needs of the individual family.
The Center is closed on national holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. A calendar of the school year is available to current families or upon request.
We also have a summer program so that you can have year-round childcare!
