The hours of the pre-school program runs Monday thru Friday from 8:00 am- 2:30 pm.  All children enrolled in the daycare center will also receive pre-school starting at age three.  The curriculum that we run is a Creative Curriculum provided by the Muscatine Community School District and is the same program they follow at the schools.   

Time is set aside each day for a rest period. This regular rest time contributes to the enjoyment of daily activities and your child’s general health. Children are not required to go to sleep, but will be expected to rest quietly so as not to disturb those who choose to sleep. Parents are asked to help encourage this behavior. We provide the cot, sheet and blanket for the child.

Rest periods are the following times:

• 12p.m-1:45p.m Back infant room
• 12p.m-1:30p.m Toddler room
• 12p.m-1:30p.m 3 yr. old pre-school room
• 12:15p.m-1:00p.m 4-5 yr. old pre-school room
