• Paperjack NR4K: M-Th & Occasional Fridays; AM (7:50-11:00) and PM (11:50-3:00)
  Paperjack’s NR4K program is designed to support children’s growth in academics, social development, and physical well-being. Each day is organized into a variety of learning blocks that engage students in age-appropriate activities aligned with the 4K curriculum. Students also participate in rotating specialty classes, giving them opportunities to explore new interests and discover their strengths. Our approach centers on nurturing the whole child while building strong partnerships with families. To support busy schedules, we provide extended care and full day programming when 4K classes are not in session.   Transportation between home and school is an option for our students. This transportation is only an option for students getting picked up at home and dropped off at home, not daycares.
