JOIN THE FUN
WHAT IS IT?
Our Summer Program is for families of children ages 6 weeks-PreK to provide a place for learning, social interaction, and fun during the summer months. This 5-day program offers full-time, part-time, and early drop-off options to meet the needs of a variety of family and work schedules. Our summer program will also offer the possibility of three days a week or 2 days a week as space allows. See below for more information about this option.
WHAT TO KNOW
Our summer program is connected to our preschool but has a separate enrollment from our school-year Preschool program. You do not have to be a part of our school-year Preschool program in order to enroll your child in our summer program. Also, families who only enroll in our summer program are not automatically enrolled in our school-year Preschool program. If you are interested in our school year Preschool program, please visit the Information page of the Preschool section of our website.
