The daytime preschool is a three hour learning program which meets Monday- Friday 8:30am-11:30am or 1pm-4pm. School is in session from the fourth week of August through the second week of June, with breaks around traditional holidays.   Children must be at least 30 months old  and fully potty trained. They may be enrolled any number of days per week, morning or afternoon, as long as each week’s schedule is the same.  Tuition is not charged on days when the school is closed.   Activities are developmentally appropriate, both structured and unstructured, falling in all domains of development, physical, social, emotional, and cognitive. Teacher/child ratio is 1:10 with children participating in small (10 children), medium (15 children), or large (30 children) group activities.
