School-age children are welcome for full days when their regular school is not in session.

During the summer months, tuition will be adjusted to reflect the extended schedule.
Your School Ager’s health, happiness, and well-being are our primary responsibility.
Our caregivers are trained to support your child’s development during this crucial period, helping them build a strong sense of identity.
