A Guide, Not a Stopwatch
The schedule gives the day a steady rhythm, which helps young children feel secure. We also stay flexible based on the children and the day.
As Much Time Outside as Possible
When the weather allows, we spend as much time outdoors as we can. We often bring classroom activities, projects and other learning outside with us.
Snacks and Lunch
We provide morning and afternoon snacks. Many families prefer to pack lunch from home so they can manage their child’s diet, so children bring their own lunch.
See It for Yourself
A tour at 10am shows you a very different room than one at 5pm. Call 248-347-6580 or use our contact page to book a visit, and we will show you the real day.
