In addition to providing center-based and home-based preschool education, the program provides supportive services in the areas of health and dental care, nutrition, special education, parent skill workshops and social services. Children are provided with a daily lunch and breakfast or snack, which meet all federal, and state nutrition guidelines. Door-to-door transportation is provided at many of the centers. Classrooms typically operate from September through May, Mondays through Fridays and from 8:30am to 2pm.
