Lt is a special class, with 20 children and 2 teachers, creating an intimate and special experience.
ALL DAY
Children have the option to stay with us all day, either by attending in the morning, then staying for a nap and play, or they can combine the morning and the Pre-K program together. In the nap room we have a small, intimate environment where children can rest or fall asleep. A snack is served after they get up, and then they join the Pre-K for a play time.
