Children must be 3 years of age by October 1, 2018, and must be fully toilet trained to attend the program. Applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Prior students will be given precedence. We will notify you by mail of your child’s acceptance status.

We are in session from September 2018 into June 2019, with school from 8:00 am until 1:00 pm. After care options are available until 4:00 pm.
