Drop Off/Pick Up

From there, you will walk your child to the correct classroom. At pick up, you will walk into the building through the same main entrance and a staff member will bring your child to you.
During the evening if you have anything to relay to the staff, please call the front desk of your center. This could be a change in pick up personnel, a message to your child(ren), or just to show some love to our front desk staff.
