Classes run daily from 11:30am-1:00pm, and children in morning preschool programs are escorted from their classroom to the enrichment classroom, or children in afternoon preschool programs are escorted from the enrichment to their classroom (PM preschoolers leave enrichment 30 minutes early, and a prorated discount is honored at registration for time missed.)
