Full Day Preschool Enrichment

About

Our year long program for three & four-year-olds is ideal for working families. Our full day preschool is open from 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM and includes a variety of developmentally appropriate learning experiences in social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth areas and is geared to prepare young children for kindergarten. Other program features include field trips, planned outdoor & gym activities, rest time, breakfast, and snacks. Our well-trained staff are skilled in the field of Early Childhood and have earned a well-respected reputation in the community. We are proud of our staff and the relationships they have built with families. Children must be 3 or 4 by September 1 of the current school year and completely independent in the bathroom. Our staff are trained in early childhood, CPR, and first aid.
