Pre-K Classes
M-W-F Half or Full Day
This program is geared towards preparing our Stars for entry into elementary the following season. We focus on the extension and bridging of all skills learned in the Playschool class, instilling a love for learning and setting students up for success in their future school career. All programming is age-appropriate and following the learning through play philosophy. This group has more field trips as well as fabulous graduation ceremony!

Play School Classes
Tuesday/Thursday Half or Full Day
This program is the first school experience for most Stars! We focus on building social skills, transitions, name recognition, working with both fine and gross motor skills as well as spatial positioning, and literacy skills. We do this by creating a warm and engaging space, rich with opportunities for hands-on experiences, problem-solving opportunities, based on children's interests and the learning through play philosophy.
For more information, please read the Play School Handbook.

This program is a set-up/tear down program run onsite at St. Gregory. This program also provides care to the students from IRIC school. We are lucky to have a fabulous park onsite as well as the use of the gym when available. We work with the same end goal in mind as the Little Star OSP, helping to create amazing citizens of the community!

Kindercare
Half Day
We are excited to now offer out-of-school care to half-day kindergarten morning students from IREC. We walk students to and from school and provide enriching programming based on the children's interests. We have renovated an amazing little space and we also have a great outdoor space as well.

Superstar Summer Care
Summer Care
Registration is now open! Please drop forms into the drop slot beside the front door of the 5009 Broadway Ave location. Do not send funds until you receive an email confirmation. If your child is in kindergarten or under 5, the affordability grant is available to reduce fees if they use 50 or more hours a month (please note kindergarten children only qualify if they received the grant during the school season). We are a licensed program that can accept subsidy for those families that qualify. Little Star does not supply food for summer care so packed lunches and snacks are required and we are a peanut-free establishment. This program is limited to 30 maximum and is run by certified staff who also hold first aid certification. We guarantee tons of fun and tired, happy Summer Stars at pickup!
