“Tiger Time” begins at 8:00am. This is the earliest that you can drop your child off at the Pre-K classroom. The cost is $10.00 per day. There is no charge if the child will be attending CARES or Early Birds that day. You can use Tiger Time on an “as needed” basis. No need to sign up ahead of time.
Weather permitting, we will go outside every day! Please dress your child according to the day’s weather. Even if it is raining we may have to walk over to the “Big School” for an activity such as Library, Gym or Music.
