Drop-In Program

Our program year begins after Labor Day and ends the week after Memorial Day. Services are provided on MWF from 7am to 6pm. There is an infant/toddler nursery and our "Break Room" for 2-5 year olds (steady walkers to pre-k). A registration fee is required and care is per hour payable daily/weekly or monthly.

Break Room (Older Drop-in children, ages 2-5)
Your child will be given the opportunity to interact with other children, learn new skills and use his imagination.  We want you to relax and enjoy your "welcome break" knowing your child is well cared for and participating in age-appropriate activities in a loving, Christian environment.  Theme-based activities occur in this room and we follow a general schedule with both structured and unstructured play and learning times.  We have expanded into the room across the hall to provide a large motor play area for our babies and toddlers.  It has foam flooring and lots of room to run around in socks or bare feet!  Our older children also use this room.  Children go outside to take walks or play as often as the weather allows.  Young children who still need to nap can be accommodated.

Nursery (ages 6 weeks - 2 yrs)
Our nursery is a cozy room with friendly, attentive staff.  Staff-child interaction is very important to us and you can expect the staff to talk, sing and play with your child all day when she is not sleeping.  Children will be provided with a rotating selection of age-appropriate toys and books.  Toys and equipment are cleaned daily.  Nap bedding is changed daily for each child.  Feeding and napping schedules are individually determined based on the needs of the child and requests by the parents.  Mothers who breastfeed can be accommodated. The transition to "graduate" to the older room usually happens in the fall and is based on a child's developmental age - not just chronological age.
