Programs & ages
Every classroom runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 12:30pm, with care available from 8 to 5.
For most of them this is the first time they have been left anywhere, so we take it slowly and expect some crying. Warm routines, the same order every day, sensory play, songs, and a lot of lap-sitting. We will work out a goodbye routine with you in the first week and then stick to it, because two-year-olds trust repetition more than reassurance.
Threes talk constantly and want to know why about everything. Stories, art, dress-up and hands-on discovery, plus the first real disagreements about who had the shovel. We help them work those out rather than settling it for them, which takes longer and is the entire point.
The building blocks of kindergarten: letters, sounds, name-writing, counting. Also the less obvious half — sitting through a lesson, following three instructions in a row, managing a coat and a lunchbox, and asking a grown-up for help without dissolving.
Extended care
Add morning care, afternoon care, or both around the core preschool day. PM children bring a lunch; we provide an afternoon snack.
A day in the life
Times move around depending on the day. The order does not.
Come for a tour and we will work it out with you. Age is the main thing, but it is not the only thing.
