Non-VPK Hours -
We encourage you to bring your child into the center by 8:30 a.m. and
no later than 9:00 a.m. so that he or she may fully enjoy all the
scheduled activities. Children will not be accepted into the center
after 9:30 a.m., unless special arrangements are made. This helps us to
better plan our day and maintain child/teacher ratios and allows your
child to get the benefit of the full day planned activities.
VPK Hours -
VPK hours vary during the school year. Please see your center Director
for times available. Full-Day VPK is offered during the summer.
Naptime/Quiet time is
from 12:15 p.m. until 2:15 p.m. for certain groups, with the exception
of VPK. When calling about your child it is best to call during nap
time. If your child’s teacher is busy with her group, he or she will
return your call as soon as possible.
Even though the center
is open 11.5 hours per day, we consider 10 hours a full day for a
child. If your child has to stay occasionally for more than 10 hours please
inform the Director and she will rearrange scheduling if necessary.
There is an extra charge after 10 hours unless parent is working more
than 10 hours for a particular day and has made arrangements with the
office.
