Early Drop-Off
We offer an early arrival program that begins at 8:00 AM for our AM session and 1:30 PM for our Afternoon Session. Children may sign up for 2-5 days per week, or add the early drop off option as needed. Children will engage in free play, book reading, or movement activities with their classroom teachers.
Extended Day Options
We offer two extended day options (1pm and 2:30pm). These can be added to the morning program for 2, 3, 4 or 5 days/week and can be added at any time throughout the year. Children enrolled beyond 12 PM eat lunch at school (brought from home) and our extended day options do not include a nap.
1:00 PM Extension (2s and 3s)
This one hour extended day gives children the opportunity to eat lunch together with their classmates and teachers (~30 minutes) and engage in extended school day activities in small and large groups (~30 minutes).
2:30 PM Extension (3s and 4s)
This full day extension will include a 30-minute lunch and 2 hours of after-lunch activities. These activities include small and large group experiences, outdoor time, and continued classroom work.
More details regarding the schedule will be shared during Open Houses and Tours.
