Overview
We offer 2, 3, and 5 full and half day programs for children 18 months and above at both schools, and 2, 3, and 5 full day programs for infants. Occasionally, we can fulflll a request for an unusal schedule, so please ask! Our 3 day schedule is Monday through Wednesday and our 2 day schedule is Thursday/Friday.
Our hours are 7-7 at Princeton and 7-6 at Foxmoor, with limited school closings – only major legal holidays; no week long closures. Two or three snacks are included in tuition (depending on the length of the child’s day with us). Diapers and wipes are also included in the cost of tuition.
Check with us about “back-up care” for your child. With proper notice, we can accommodate most requests for extra days of care if your child is not full time with us. Many corporations provide “Back-Up Care Advantage” for their employees, a subsidy for occasional child care services. Children over 18 months and up to age 9 can use this service.
Infants
Babies enter any time after their two month hallmark, and can stay in the infant room until they are 17 months. Children eat and sleep “on demand” in the infant room, take daily stroller walks, and are assigned to a “primary caregiver.” The ratio is either a 1:3 or 1:4 depending on the age range in the class. We are sometimes able to offer a “young toddler” class for sturdily walking infants, who no longer need two naps, do not need to be bottle fed, are eating table food and have outgrown the need for a pacifier. There is an individual lesson plan for each baby, so that they are receiving just the right combination of intellectual, social, emotional and physical stimulation. Music, reading, hugs and kisses are all an integral part of the Harmony experience starting in infancy.
