Our Day: Typical Classroom Schedule
We are open from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM Monday to Friday, and families are welcome to contract for up to 10 hours during these times. A typical day includes classroom free-choice activities, outdoor play, and nutritious meals. We serve breakfast, a hot lunch, a 2:00 PM snack, and a 5:00 PM snack, all included with your tuition as part of the USDA food program. We are proud to offer lower than Washington State required teacher-student ratios in many of our classrooms, allowing your child much more one-on-one time with our well-qualified teachers.
