Our Approach

At Part Time Pals, we believe that childhood is a time for wonder, exploration, and joyful discovery. Our program is designed for children ages 2.5 to 5, with a focus on learning through play, creativity, and process art. We embrace the magic of imaginative play as a powerful tool for social, emotional, and cognitive development. Whether we're painting, building, storytelling, or dancing, every activity is an opportunity for children to express themselves, build friendships, and grow at their own pace. We create a nurturing and playful environment where each child feels seen, supported, and inspired to explore the world around them.

We are working on our outdoor community garden and micro-nature playground, which will be used by our students on a daily basis. The anticipated date of completion for the garden and playground is late winter/early spring 2026.
