Our Mother’s Day Out (MDO) program allows parents to schedule “free time” during the day. Parents drop off and pick up their children at MDO from 9:30 am – 1:30 pm. Our program emphasizes preschool play experiences, socialization skills, arts/crafts, musical and pre - academic skills in a recreational setting.
Your commitment is on a September – May basis.
