⏰ Hours & Policies

What are your hours of operation?

Monday through Friday: 6:30 AM – 6:30 PM

We are closed on major holidays including New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving (and day after), Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

What is your sick policy?

To protect all children, we ask that children stay home when they have:

  • Fever of 100.4°F or higher
  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Contagious illness
  • Undiagnosed rash
  • Eye discharge (pink eye)

Children may return when fever-free for 24 hours without medication, or cleared by a physician.

What is your late pick-up policy?

Children must be picked up by 6:30 PM. A late fee of $1.00 per minute is charged for pick-ups after closing time. Please call us if you're running late so we can reassure your child!

👶 Care & Curriculum

What are your staff-to-child ratios?

We meet or exceed Virginia's required ratios:

  • Infants (0-16 months): 1:4 (one teacher for every 4 children)
  • Toddlers (16-24 months): 1:5

These low ratios ensure your child receives individualized attention and care.

What curriculum do you use?

We use a STEAM-based curriculum aligned with Virginia's Foundation Blocks for Early Learning standards. Our program integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics through age-appropriate, hands-on activities.

We also offer Spanish language exposure, music and movement, and Zumba Kids!

Do you provide meals and snacks?

Yes! We provide nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snacks following USDA guidelines. For infants, we follow your individual feeding schedule and accommodate breast milk, formula, and introduction of solids per your pediatrician's guidance.

We accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions with proper documentation.

What is your discipline policy?

We use positive guidance techniques including redirection, positive reinforcement, and natural consequences. We never use corporal punishment, verbal abuse, or any form of punishment that could harm a child's self-esteem.

Our complete guidance policy is outlined in our Parent Handbook.
