Younger students may attend as little as two days a week (Tues/Thur or Mon/Wed). Older students are required to attend 5 days a week for curriculum continuity and preparation for kindergarten.
Before and after school care and enrichment classes are offered each day, and can extend the day from 6:30AM - 6:00PM.
Special Programs
The Seedling School offers special programs during school breaks. These programs are open to the public, and are focused on a particular theme.
SUMMER 2013
This summer, we will be offering a unique program called "On the Farm". All of the activities "on the farm" will be fun and exciting. Children will learn songs, cook healthy snacks, and participate in math and science activities, including planting a garden. A petting zoo will even visit the school! Two sessions will be offered, but each session will offer different activities, allowing children to attend both if they desire.
On the Farm -- Session I Monday - Friday, June 17 through July 19
(closed for Independence Day)
9:00 - 2:30 p.m. with before and after school care available.
On the Farm -- Session II Monday - Friday, July 22 through August 23
9:00 - 2:30 p.m. with before and after school care available.
