*
We are open Tuesday Friday. We are closed on Monday and we use
this time for personal appointments so that we rarely need to close
the program.
Also,
on this day, the room is cleaned, activities are often changed and
we prepare for the week. Sometimes we attend Training Seminars to
fulfill our Licensing requirements.
NOTE:
Beginning
in September, we will shift to a Monday - Thursday schedule.
