Hours
Safari Learning® Preschool is open from 7 am to 6 pm, Monday - Friday.

Preschool half-day = 4.5 hours or less
Preschool full day = 4.5 hours +
Students should be scheduled one week ahead of time to insure space. Openings will be treated as “first come, first served.” All reservations with payment will be given priority.
According to California Title 22 Regulations, toddlers and preschoolers must be kept separate during play and instruction time because of their developmental needs. However, they can “conjoin” for meals and some activities. This will be the case from 7 am to 8 am if numbers of students are low. This also may be the case from 5 pm to 6 pm as the numbers of children dwindle.
