Normal hours of operation are from 6:45am to 5:30pm. The School Age center’s hours are 6:45am – 5:45pm. We schedule staff to coincide with these times.
Our program concludes at the above stated times and children must be picked up by the listed times or there will be a late charge so that the education specialist can be compensated for the interruption to the close of her day. Failure to respect these hours is considered disrespect of our staff. Respect is the key to our success and your failure to show respect will result in termination of our child development services.
Our facilities are closed on New Years, Memorial Day, Independence Day & the day after, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the day after, Christmas Eve, Christmas and the day after.
