Our Children's Ark Early Learning Heroes

 Children's Ark offers school readiness academics every morning for every age group, from toddlers through VPK, to help prepare your child for school. 

Childcare is defined as any time before or after academic hours, and/or a Childcare Day

(determined by the Pasco County School Calendar when preschool classes are not held due to public schools not being in session.)

1. MORNING-ONLY ATTENDEES ARE CONSIDERED PRESCHOOL.
   
2. ALL-DAY ATTENDEES ARE CONSIDERED CHILDCARE.
