Our program provides a healthy rhythm with structured and free time.

There are activities the children will be participating in, so we ask that you pick up your child(ren) during the transition times, to maintain the flow of activities. We regularly bring in volunteer parents or staff to offer special activities. An activity schedule is posted for the following week outside the Enrichment Program room. This year, the Enrichment programs will be held in Fellowship Hall. You can contact me, through the school office or email at eval@oaklandsteiner.org.
