​Extended Hours Care
To better serve families that juggle daycare on top of early child education, we offer extended hours care for students in any of our programs. Our doors are open at 7:30 am for those who would appreciate an earlier drop off, and our staff sticks around until 5:00 pm as for those who need a later pick-up time. There is no additional enrollment necessary and we offer significant flexibility to parents who need to take advantage of these extended hours.
