Kindergarten

Kindergarten is broken up in to two sessions, with a child attending either in the morning or the afternoon. Priority for morning/afternoon session preference is based on the order of enrollment; i.e., the sooner your registration packet is completed & turned in, the greater the chance you will get your choice of sessions. Anticipated times for the sessions are 8:45-12:05 and 11:55-3:15 Mon.-Thurs. All classes come 8:45-12:30 Friday. Please remember that the sooner your registration packet is completed & turned in, the greater the chance you will get your choice of the sessions.
