Our School Calendar

Our school year is pretty similar to a traditional school schedule. We take off a lot of the same days for holiday breaks as the local public schools. We do differ in some ways, and while it changes year to year, below you will find the basic layout for how our year runs. 

We always start the day after Labor Day. The next day, Tuesday, is the first day for our five-day students and our two-day (Tuesday/Thursday) students. The Wednesday after Labor Day is the first day for our three-day (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) students. 

We are always closed for Veterans Day as well as Wednesday, Thursday (Thanksgiving Day), and Friday the week of Thanksgiving. 

For Christmas, we are closed two full weeks as well as the Monday following Christmas break (and sometimes Tuesday depending on how New Years Day falls.

We are closed Good Friday and the following week is our Spring Break.

Our last day of school is always the Friday before Memorial Day. Our four year old and Kindergarten graduation is the Wednesday evening before the last day of school.

We also have a few random days off and Teacher Work Days sprinkled in the calendar depending on our training dates and the public school calendar (most of our teachers are moms of school-aged kiddos).

Tuition is based on the number of days we have school. We do not charge for closings and we also have a few buffer days for weather related closings. Our tuition is not prorated for closings since those days were not counted for when planning our tuition prices. Our tuition is an annual price that can be paid up front, or broken into ten equal monthly payments (August 1st-May1st) that do not change based on the number of days we are in school that month. 

Our two-day (Tuesday/Thursday) students attend school 67 days each school year. Our three-day (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) students attend school 95 days each school year. Our five-day (Monday-Friday) students attend school 162 days each school year. 

We do not offer make-up days or refunds if a child is absent or if we close for inclement weather. Students cannot switch to another day if they missed their scheduled day. We sure miss our students when they are not at school due to an illness or vacation, but we do not have space for them to attend on their off days. 

We LOVE our students and enjoy our days with them so much!!
