Our preschool students experience stability and continuity in an active, caring learning environment for up to 11 hours per day. Each classroom consists of 18 students and 3 teachers.
  2. The Eagles School Age Child Care Program provides continuing out-of-school services for 25 at-risk elementary school students who graduated from Main Street. They benefit from before/after school care, tutoring, recreation, healthy meals and snacks, and an all-day summer program.
  3. Family Support and Parent Engagement Services engage families extensively in family-oriented events, adult education classes, parent-teacher conferences, and parenting workshops. Our staff communicates regularly with parents about behavioral/developmental issues, daily lesson plans, and the school's meal/snack menu. During adult education classes, we provide childcare and meals
