We also offer after-school enrichment and a summer program for children up to seven years of age, and before- and after-care for Arnold Elementary.
Areas of growth and development are highlighted on our daily lesson plans, which our faculty brings to life in appropriate and attainable ways. Children are encouraged to progress at their own pace according to their individual needs and abilities.
