Programs
All care & learning at Hundred Acre Play Care takes place in a single, multi-age group of up to 8 children.
We believe strongly that it is important for children to have opportunities to be BOTH the youngest and oldest in a group of learners. Our youngest learners are always observing and developing ideas from their oldest friends and the oldest children have opportunities to develop leadership skills and practice caring for those younger than them. They are equally important ends of a spectrum in our little learning family.
​
Our school currently has just one qualified and experienced teacher- Ms. Sarah- who is with your child from arrival to departure each and every day they are in care. The consistency gives everyone a feeling of safety, routine, and the opportunity to develop deep relationships based in love.
School Year Enrollment
August- June
Our School Year Program is in session each year from late August through early June. Children ages 1-5 years may join our small group and attend with up to 8 children and 1 teacher each day. We offer full time (5 days/wk) and part time (1-4 days/wk) schedules for all children between the hours of 8am and 4:30pm Monday- Friday. Each day with us includes ample time for child-led play and exploration, meals (am/pm snacks & lunch), rest time, and outdoor play. HAPC provides in care children with developmentally appropriate learning materials as well as a "school pack" of outdoor gear so they may enjoy time outside in every season.
Get Kids Ready 4K Program
Available during School Year Enrollment
Get Kids Ready is our supplemental 4K program that runs concurrently and as part of the same group and space with our School Year Program. This program provides a lower tuition rate for families due to state funding provided for the "4K" portion of your child's day with us. Children must be at least 4 years old on or before September 1 of the year their child will participate (or 5 years old and not enrolled in public kindergarten) and enrolled in both Get Kids Ready AND Hundred Acre Play Care's School Year Program. Children may attend 1-5 full days per week for this program- we do not currently offer tuition options for part-day 4K programming.
Summer Enrichment
June- August
During the summer months, we offer limited, part-time options for Summer Enrichment. This program is everything we do during our school year program- but set in summertime! All summer care is optional for HAPC families- if your child does not attend during summer, there is no tuition requirement.
