The meal program is support that the staff provides, above and beyond, because we feel there are great benefits when most children are eating the same healthy food together. We also follow green policies, limit consumable products, and encourage families to walk and bike to school. We are open throughout the year, with backup care available during holiday breaks. We designed our year-round schedule with children's continuity of care and working parents' needs in mind.

The community's friends and families share their knowledge, skills, hobbies, multi-cultural traditions with our students. In addition to above, parent volunteers work with teachers to organize wonderful presentations and cultural celebrations for children almost each week year-round. These beloved school traditions celebrate each child as a unique individual, nurturing children's self-esteem and self-expression.
