Toddlers
Children in our toddler classrooms range in age from approximately 16 months to 2.8 years old.
Our toddler progrma consists of two classrooms: the Explorers and the Adventurers. Our adult-to-child ratio for both of these rooms is 1:4.
Hours
The School Year Program runs Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., from the last week in August through late June.
All contracts are for full-time childcare and are paid on that basis (unless otherwise contracted for part-week care). However, the hours each child attends may vary according to the needs of the individual family.
The Center is closed on national holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. A calendar of the school year is available to current families or upon request.
We also have a summer program so that you can have year-round childcare!
