Early Care & After Care Option
If your child comes before 9 AM and stays past 3 PM, you can calculate your tuition cost and pay for the extended hours using the hourly rate of $5.00. Please state on your registration form the hours you need your child to attend and use the hourly rate for the extended hours.
Lunch Bunch for Sunflowers and Shooting Stars
The Lunch Bunch option is available for children in the Sunflower and Shooting Star classrooms only. This extra 1-hour includes time to eat lunch with friends and free play in the Outdoor Classroom until 1:00 PM. The cost is $10 per day. Please note that children who stay after lunch bunch will be going into a rest time, which requires lunch bunchers to be picked up promptly at 1:00 PM. Please talk with the Director about enrollment in this option, as there is limited space.
Transitions
When children transition from the Infant Program into the Toddler Program, they may enroll on a part-time basis. Transitions from the Infant program into the Toddler Program and from the Toddler Program into the Preschool Program may occur throughout the year typically at the beginning of the summer and fall programs.
