Reservations for our non-recurring programs will open up in Mid-November.
Our Winter Program operates from mid-December to the end of March. During weekdays, students will be integrated into our Day School programs in either our Nursery, Toddler, or PreK Program. On weekends, we split groups up based on age and expected children for programming. Our experienced staff work with small groups of children to keep our ratios low and allow children fun, guided play that is age-appropriate.
The Sugarbush Day School will provide your child with snacks, lunch, and drinks while they are in our care. If you would like to pack a snack and lunch for your child, you are welcome to do so, we just ask that it does not contain any nuts. rich-text, responsive-table
