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 2 "Break Rooms" for Steady Walkers and 3 - 5 year olds. A registration fee is required and care is per hour payable bi-weekly.

Home
Green Room (Older Drop-in children, ages 3 to 5)
Your child will be given the opportunity to interact with other children, learn new skills and use their 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. .  Children go outside to take walks or play as often as the weather allows.  Young children who still need to nap can be accommodated.
Baby Room (ages 4 mos. to approx. 1.5 years)
​

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 they are 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.


​Toddler Room (approx. ages 1.5yrs to 2.5 yrs. - steady walkers)
​

Our older toddlers/steady walkers have their own developmentally appropriate activities and schedule.  This class will have circle time, story, crafts, and use the big gym.  ​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.
