Monday Daycare
MONDAY spelled out in colored wooden blocks

We are committed to providing a high-quality experience for children in 4-Year-Old Preschool through 6th Grade throughout the year. This includes on Mondays during the 2024-2025 school year when school is not in session.

We intend to provide field trip opportunities for students on at least one Monday per month throughout the year; these field trips will be held in the afternoon. In addition, programming will be broken out by age group as much as possible.
