Our program offers a structured schedule with daily activities focused on literacy, sensory experiences, and fine- and gross-motor play for all ages. It uses a play-based method that includes both a preschool readiness program and a preschool curriculum, all designed to develop age-appropriate socio-emotional skills.
**Our attendance policy requires all children to be in care by 8:30 am unless prior alternative arrangements have been made. This policy ensures that our quality multi-age groups can maintain a structured routine for optimal learning and development.
Tuition is due ahead of care every Monday by 8am and varies depending on each child's schedule needs. Tuition is inclusive of all snacks and meals, diapers, wipes and formula (should your family choose to use the brand we provide). Tuition is not discounted should you prefer to provide any of these items.
Tuition is an annual amount split into 52 weekly payments. Sick days, holidays, vacations, and provider closings are already factored and pro-rated into tuition pricing. Tuition is due to hold your placement regardless of attendance.
For Teachers who do not wish to forfeit their Fall placement, a one-week holding fee is due and allows for ten weeks of unpaid non-attendance and/or a reduced schedule from Mid June through Mid August. Days for a reduced schedule cannot be guaranteed. Teachers must commit to Fall by April 1st of each year.
Teachers must provide their district schedule to take advantage of the teacher policy by September 15th of each year. To supplement the tuition lost and maintain our quality program, teachers may not use childcare during any school closings other than professional development days that require them to work. This includes Spring Break, snow days etc.
We are licensed to provide care for up to 14 children. We maintain a 1:7 ratio within the required state guidelines.
