A relaxed, fun, and challenging day will be planned with ample opportunity for free play. There will also be themed, organized activities. Please have your child dressed appropriately for outside play (no uniform required). A morning and afternoon snack will be provided, but children must bring a bag lunch and a drink.

There will be no regular bus and van transportation on full day program days.

Full day enrichment programs will be offered on the following dates:
