I have to be at work before 9.  Do you offer Early Drop-off?

  • Yes.  We offer Early Morning Care beginning at 8am for an additional fee.  Two members of our staff supervise EMC and for those parents who pay in advance, the fee is $3 per day, per use.  For parents who use EMC as a drop off service, the Director will bill you at the end of the month, at a rate of $3 per day, per use.   A statement will be issued at the end of the month to inform parents if they have a credit or balance due.

How does snack work?

  • Snack is now provided each day by adding $6 to the monthly tuition, saving parents the task of bringing a snack on a rotating basis. We changed to this procedure in Fall 2017.  Your child’s teachers will purchase snacks for the class, which may go along with their lesson plans and will follow the approved snack list.
