Summer Explorers Program

During the summer, we take a break from the regular preschool curriculum for our Summer Explorers Program. Kiddos who are enrolled during the school year get first option for summer program spots and can keep thier normal schedule. For our summer program, enrollment and tuition change to weekly instead of monthly to give parents more flexibility during the summer.
