Our Commitment During Covid and our TK Program
We are proud to have remained open from the very start of the pandemic, caring for the children of Essential Workers during Shelter-in-Place. From March 2020 to April 2021 we expanded our program to include kindergarteners and distance learning support while elementary schools were closed.
Our current TK program supports families who prefer a smaller group setting for their child and those who need reliable and seemless aftercare for their child's TK experience.
