2 Year-Old Full Day Program
Location: Red Room
Price: $280 per week
Time: Monday – Friday 7AM – 6PM
This program is filled with opportunities to sing, dance, and play, but also provides hands-on activities to help your child grow cognitively (mind), physically (body), emotionally (feelings), and socially (friendships). Our classroom follows a consistent schedule that is posted using pictures that allow our students to learn the daily routine. Before long, our students know the general flow of our day and learn to anticipate the coming activities, such as snack time, free play, and rest time. Students at this age thrive with consistency, so our program prepares these students to be ready for the formal preschool environment that will follow next year.
3 Year-Old Full Day Program
Location: Rainbow Room
Price: $270 per week
Time: Monday – Friday 7AM – 6PM
Each student’s brain, body, emotions, and friendships grow through their experiences in our classroom. A large portion of the preschool day is spent in discovery centers, where students get the chance to learn about the world by exploring various materials, toys, books, puzzles, and games. Our knowledgeable staff helps to guide students through the learning process in these centers by asking targeted questions during their experiences. Our program also utilizes a variety of formal curriculums, such as Handwriting Without Tears, in order to provide school-readiness skills. Students leave our preschool program ready for a seamless transition to a 4 year-old program.
4 & 5 Year-Old After School Program

These students have opportunities to continue learning after their school day through discovery centers, outdoor play and free play options. If your child does not attend Carlisle Elementary School and you are in need of after-school care for your 4 or 5 year-old, please call to discuss further options that may be available.
This program rate is based on a 5-day schedule that includes full-day care Wednesday, as well as after-school care on the remaining weekdays. In the instance of a no-school day, a daily fee will be added to accommodate the additional attendance hours if your child joins us.
