Welcome back for 2026-27

School is back in session at Grattan Playground, and this year brings the biggest schedule change in a while: we’re running extended hours with a full-day option for the first time.

• Half day: 8:30 am to 12 noon
• Full day: 8:30 am to 3:30 pm
• Aftercare nanny share: 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm

Parent work shifts have shifted to match. Each family works one shift a week, either 8:15 am to 12:15 pm or 11:45 am to 3:45 pm, on the same day every week.

We’re also delighted to welcome Michele Menard as our director. Michele comes to us from Puddle Jumpers, where she spent 16 years building a co-op community, and she was named Best Co-op Director in 2023.

If you know a family looking for a spot, we have openings throughout the year and applying is free. Send them to the application form.
