Winter Break - We will be closed beginning Friday, December 25th through Friday, January 1st. School will open on Monday, January 4th. Full tuition applies during the annual Holiday Break. We stay open for a number of Federal Holidays throughout the year so that we may close for an equal amount of days over the break between Christmas and New Year’s. Please refer to the Holiday Calendar attached here.
Holiday Celebrations - Your Child’s Place observes many seasonal celebrations throughout the year. These holidays are not specific to any religion and only the cultural aspects are emphasized. Activities and lessons are kept secular in nature, focusing on secular characters and objects commonly associated with the holiday and avoiding all religious references.
We welcome parents who would like to share their family traditions with activities, songs, or foods. Please consult with Ms. Pashi if you are interested in coming to the Center to do so. Your Child’s Place respects and honors each individual’s preference in respect to religion.
Scholastic Book Orders - If you are interested in placing an order online, you may:

- Books will be sent to YCP, where they will be placed in your child’s cubby 4-10 days from the time of ordering. Remember, every parent order allows YCP to purchase more books for our classrooms.
