Are you closed for the summer?No. We are a year-round facility with open enrollment. We only close for major holidays for your convenience.
Do the tuition rates increase yearly or frequently?No. We have only raised our rates twice in the past ten years due to the increase in oil. We strive to make the tuition rates as fair as possible to accommodate the hard-working families we serve.
Should I stop in or call for an appointment?We prefer that you call and schedule an appointment for a tour. This way we can have all of the necessary paperwork ready for you. Also, we like to schedule tours before or after naptime/lunch breaks in order to show clients the classrooms in progress and to meet the teachers.
Do you go on field trips?No. But, we do contract with Encore Entertainment and have entertainers, storytellers, petting zoos, bubble bounces, Fun Bus every other week, and lots of fun things come to our school. We would rather include all the ages we service than to travel with only our oldest children to certain destinations.
