At East End House, we’re proud to offer a unique program where children prepare for Kindergarten and families can also benefit from all of our wrap-around services. Our program operates for the full day from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm so you can choose to extend your child’s day with us beyond the standard six-hour school day. Our comprehensive approach ensures that your child’s educational needs are met while fostering a supportive community environment for your entire family.
