Sessions
We offer two half-day options for your convenience. Both sessions are multi-age (3-5 year olds) and we believe that this structure is best for the children.
Session 1
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8am-11:30 with an optional Lunch Bunch group lunch from 11:30-12:15.
Session 2
Tuesday and Thursday from 8am-11:30 with and optional Lunch Bunch group lunch from 11:30-12:15.
Following every school day you have the option of enrolling your child into the Lunch Bunch which includes a healthy lunch and fun socializing time! (a small extra monthly fee applies)
