Schedule

Class runs for 8:30AM -12:30PM Monday through Friday. We offer an optional extended care from 12:30PM – 5:30PM for families that prefer a later pick-up. Families may select from a three or five day per week aftercare and are billed monthly for the additional cost. A one-month commitment is required for aftercare. 

Age Eligibility

Children must be at least four years old by August 31st to apply. Applicants that are five years of age by August 31st, will be processed as Kindergarten applicants.
 
Kindergarten applicants will be screened using the Gesell Developmental Observation. This screening helps identify a developmental age for each student and offers context about Kindergarten-readiness. Once assessed, our staff will make a grade level recommendation of either PreK or Kindergarten best suited for the student’s needs. Grade level admissions offers will be based on our professional recommendation.
