Hours
All children enroll for a five-day week. Full-day students attend from 9 am to 3 pm. Half-day students (Jitterbug and Dragonfly classrooms only) attend from 9 am to 12:30 pm.

Part of our children-first philosophy is that a daily routine fosters a comforting sense of belonging and order for young children. We also offer Early Bird (8–9 am) and After School care (3–6 pm), which can be booked in advance or on an ad hoc basis for an additional fee. Extended Grace Period (3-4 pm) can also be arranged in advance. These are great options for working parents.

The Jitterbug and Dragonfly Rooms offer both half-day and full-day placements. A maximum of 4 children in each of these rooms can be half-day.
