“It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.”

Schedule
Main Sessions
There are two school 'sessions' each day:
| Morning | 8:45am - 12pm |
| Afternoon | 1pm - 4pm |
Lunch
| Lunch | 12pm - 1pm |
Extended Care
| Morning Extended Care | 7:45am - 8:45am |
| Afternoon Extended Care | 4pm - 6pm |
You may choose a morning or afternoon session, or a full day - 2-5 days a week.
If you wish, you may further extend it with the lunch hour (12-1pm) - so you can have a morning session from 8:45am-1pm, or an afternoon session from 12pm-4pm. The school also offers extended hours to make it easier on working parents. Children may be dropped off as early as 7:45am for morning extended care and picked up as late as 6:00 pm for afternoon externded care.
A healthy snack is provided mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Children bring their own lunch if applicable.
