We offer children an environment in which to develop their physical, social, intellectual, and emotional well-being in a playful, social environment designed for interactive learning. Children are eligible for enrollment without regard to race, sex, religion, or ethnic background.
Children must be potty trained to be eligible for our 3, 4, and 5 year old programs. Potty training is not required for our 2 year old Parents’ Morning Out program.

Kiss-N-Ride is a convenience offered to parents and children in our 3-5 year old programs. Parents or caregivers can drive up to the back door of the preschool and ELC staff will oversee the arrival of your child into the classroom. During arrival, children in the Preschool, PreKindergarten and Junior Kindergarten programs will be met in their vehicle at the rear entrance between 9:15 and 9:25 am. Staff members oversee the arrival of children. For dismissal, you must register your child in order to participate in afternoon pick up service. After we receive your registration, Kiss-N-Ride visor tags will be assigned to each family.
This program (known as Lunch Bunch) offers children a longer day of fun activities, while also allowing parents a convenience that may better fit a busy parent’s schedule. When the ELC finishes dismissal at 12:30 pm, Lunch Bunch children are escorted from their preschool classroom to their extended day classroom. The children eat lunch together (all children bring their own peanut-free lunch), enjoy outdoor (or indoor) recess time, and explore classroom interest areas such as art/writing center, blocks, library/listening center, manipulatives, dramatic play, and science/discovery. Dismissal is from 1:50 to 2:00 pm.
