Does your center offer a Kindergarten Program?

Yes, we offer a Kindergarten program that runs from 9am - 3pm. We also offer before and after care which is included in the price. Our Kindergarten program offers a small class size with low student to teacher ratios. We follow our own calendar, so we are open on snow days and don't delay for weather! Give your child one more year in a small setting before having them join the large districts! Also, there is no birthday age cut off that we follow. Call us today to learn more about our wonderful program, and meet our Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Renee!
