I continue to be impressed by this fine drop-in pre school for ages 2-6. Maximum stay is 4 hours and they have a great schedule and very experienced teachers. Secure access in the basement of a church with great facilities. Lunches available for purchase, or pack your own. 9-4pm in the school year and 9-2pm in the summer. Morning is busier than afternoons. They provide snacks and have a regular pre-school curriculum that rotates through. My kids love it and I think they are getting great socialization and excellent care. Sometimes they hate to leave. The big gross motor room they have is fabulous, and there is also outdoor play time in the afternoon, plus show-and-tell, music time, art time, etc. A fabulous community resource with wonderful teachers. Very affordable too at $7 per hour per child. Punchcards give you small discounts and ability to reserve a spot in advance, although it only fills up a few days per year when schools close but camps haven't opened yet.
Pros: secure access, great curriculum, great teachers, good value
Cons: closes at 2pm in the summer, not open weekends
