In addition to the morning program, we offer an extended day program for children who will turn four before the 31st of December. This program is held on Monday following the morning schedule. Children have lunch, master pre-K small and large motor skills, enjoy social and leadership opportunities and build self esteem in a familiar setting.

Our welcome, story and discussion circle follows. The children enjoy a small group activity and gravitate to free play experiences including block & puzzle areas, home center & loft areas, art, sensory areas, snack, library and kitchen /science areas. We also offer carpentry, bike riding, and a puppet theatre. Our day closes with a song and game circle.
During the day children have the opportunity to take initiative through choice, practice co-operation in large and small groups and persevere through tasks in a supportive environment.
