FAQ

What are your hours of operation?
We are open 7:30 - 5:30 Monday - Friday.

Do you offer part time care?
We do! We offer two and three day part time options for all ages.

How do you pronounce "Gioiosa"?
Joy-OH-sa (it's Italian for joy)

Are there ways I can communicate with my child's teacher throughout the day?
Yes! We use Brightwheel for ongoing communication, sharing photos and videos from our activities, and general updates on your child's day.

Why do you charge an enrollment fee?
Enrollment fees offset additional staff costs as well as purchases we must make when a new child enters a classroom.

Why do you charge an annual supply fee?
School supplies can be expensive! The supply fee helps us replenish consumable supplies for our classrooms. If you're wondering why this isn't just baked into our tuition rates, please know that our largest expense category is staff salaries and benefits. We compensate our staff well above market even though our rates are aligned to market rates.
