Little Kids Club Childcare for Preschoolers
Do you need childcare for your child before or after preschool? We’ve created flexible options just for you! Your child will be escorted by classroom staff to/from the childcare space when you add this option to your weekly schedule. Children enrolled in childcare enjoy a variety of age-appropriate academic and play-based activities. Students enjoy playground/gym time, creative art projects, circle time, and self-directed play. Quiet body time occurs and snack is provided each afternoon. Children must be registered for an Early Learning and Family Center preschool class to be eligible.

Full-day monthly tuition cap (2026-27 school year)
We are thrilled to offer a monthly tuition cap for our full-day preK families. Affordable childcare options are available with tuition that will not exceed $1,720 per month per student (combined preschool and childcare fees). Families can choose the childcare schedule that works best for them while staying within their budget. Register for the childcare schedule that meets your family needs. After registration, our office will adjust your account to apply the monthly cap.
