Half-Day Programs Tailored to Little Learners
Our half-day programs are ideal for young children ages 18 months to 5 years. They provide the perfect balance of structure and free play, allowing children to engage with peers, discover new concepts, and develop essential skills—all within a timeframe that won’t overwhelm them. With options from two to five days a week, you can choose the schedule that fits your child’s needs and family routine.
For parents that work from home or simply need additional time during the day, half-day daycare or preschool offers a range of advantages that are often ideal for toddlers' needs and developmental stages.
