Engaging, age-appropriate activities focused on early literacy, motor skills, and creative expression. This includes circle time, arts & crafts, and guided educational play.
Lunch & Rest Time (11:30 AM - 2:00 PM)
A nutritious lunch is served, followed by a quiet rest period. This essential downtime allows children to recharge in a calm, comfortable environment.

Afternoons feature outdoor play (weather permitting), sensory activities, and quiet group games. We recap the day's adventures as families arrive for pickup.
