The scheduling options we offer are:
1 year olds - 2, 3 or 5 days per week

Each day the children will be exposed to a variety of experiences. Included in our daily schedule will be center time, arts & crafts, music, stories, circle time, playground, and lunch. Within this framework, each child's social, intellectual, motor, and creative skills will be enhanced.
