Enrollment at the Early Learning Center opens next Wednesday, March 6, and we are sharing an important update regarding the daily schedule at the ELC. Effective on the first day of the 2024-25 school year on August 28, 2024, the ELC will no longer be offering full-day (7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.) pre-school enrollments.
Please note that if you are a family that is already enrolled for full-day preschool and have indicated that you are returning next year, we are honoring your enrollment for next year only as we make this transition.
In order to best serve the changing needs of our growing school community, our program will be transitioning to a split AM/PM schedule and will no longer have full day schedules:
Before Care program from 7:30 to 9 a.m.
AM Preschool (Session 1) from 9 to 11:45 a.m.
PM Preschool (Session2) from 12:45 to 3:30 p.m.
After Care program from 3:45 to 5 p.m.
We understand that this change may present challenges for some families. Please understand that we did not make this decision lightly, and the changes are being implemented after collecting feedback from parents and staff. These updates will bring us into alignment with the programs offered in neighboring school districts; allows for more families to access our services; and provides our staff with collaboration and planning time that is crucial for delivering more individualized learning plans for our students.
If you have questions about these changes, please contact Director of Early Learning Brittany Goff at (360) 619-1333 or via email at
