We understand the children need a balance of activities for proper growth and development. We work very hard to ensure that each child enjoys their time away from home. Therefore, we begin each day with a tentative schedule. Meals, snack, naptime and bedtime all occur at specific times, but the length of our other activities may vary depending on interest level and curiosity. We encourage the children to participate in each activity that is presented to them, but we do not make them participate. Please understand that this schedule is based on our Toddler/Preschoolers.
Our infants determine their own schedule for sleep and awake time, and are feed according to their own schedule.

Many of our families work late into the evening. We understand that some parents would prefer that their child/ren stay awake until pick-up. We try to work hard and accomodate individual requests, however; we have found it too difficult to put one group of children down for the night, while another group of children are awake. Many of our children need to awake early for school and need their sleep. We will now be having all children follow the same bedtime routine. So, we ask for your understanding and cooperation regarding this situation. Thank you.
