During the summer months the schedule is very relaxed. We spend a lot of time enjoying the outdoor play area and taking walks. We also do water activities such as a wading pool, sprinklers and water tables.
Fresh Start Family Day Care is open year round. I am also flexible with a school year schedule for school age children or teachers looking for care for their children. I am closed for three vacations per year (April school vacation, 1 week in July, and Christmas school vacation) The vacation schedule will be available each January. I also observe most major Holidays. There is no fee for days that the day care is closed with the exception of the December week vacation. This is the only paid vacation week. The parents also have the right to one week (unpaid) vacation if their vacation does not coincide with the day care's vacation schedule.
