Discovery Days - For 4-year-olds – School Year 2008-09 Information
Discovery Days is our all-day childcare program especially planned for children who are four-years-old by September 1 of the current school year. Our highly qualified staff works in concert with our Preschool teachers to enrich and reinforce skills being taught in the Learn & Play Preschool program.
 
Discovery Days is part of the Kids Club program and follows the school-year calendar. We’re open for most days school is closed – just like Kids Club. On School Release Days, Discovery Days children will go on any age-appropriate field trips and participate in every special event planned at no extra cost.
 
Children receive a breakfast, a hot lunch, and an afternoon snack every day. Parents have the option of registering for 3 days a week or 5 days a week. Discovery Days children may continue in the SummerClub program before starting Kindergarten in the fall.
