  • a lap-sit program for infants from birth to 2 years and their care givers
  • five preschool programs for children 2-5 years of age
  • an after school program for 6-8 year olds

An adult tutor may be available after school for students needing help with homework.  Inquiries should be directed to David Townsend, Public Relations Coordinator.
