School Notes
- Chidlren play happily in the school yard upon arrival. There is an inside portion with circle time, singing, reading and a mini meal. When children stay all day they can either take a nap or attend our Pre-K program in the afternoons. We are a mixed age program, where children are all together with chidlren from 2-5 years old.
