Pick-up is by 5:30 PM. Late pick-ups may incur a fee after the first 10 minutes. We understand emergencies happen — please call us as soon as possible if you're running late.

How do you handle discipline?

We use positive guidance and redirection. We never use physical punishment. We help children learn to express feelings, resolve conflicts, and make good choices through age-appropriate strategies and lots of patience.
