s

Mini Day:

Designed for pre-schoolers who would benefit from an abbreviated day. Program hours are from 10 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. and 3 or 5 day per week options are available. Mini-day bus transportation is available. Our mini-day counselors serve as bus counselors offering continuity, a familiar face, and comfort for what is often a child's first school bus experience.

Papawnee:

Also for pre-schoolers, but offered for a full day. These children enjoy more of our fun activities.

Kindergarten:

Boys and girls are grouped separately. More activity is introduced in the day including tennis, hockey, outdoor bowling, super water slides, and large sports facilities. Be assured, though, that we are still careful to monitor the pace of the day.

Junior Day:

New for Summer 2010. This program offers pre-schoolers and children entering kindergarten the opportunity to enjoy all the great things Crestwood has to offer but with the option to start their day later or end it earlier. Program hours are from either 9:00 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. or from 10 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. with the option of 3 or 5 days per week.
