Bug-A-Lugs Kindergarten Program 

​

We’re thrilled to announce that Bug-A-Lugs will open its new Funded Kindergarten Program in 2026,

offering high quality early learning for 3- and 4-year-olds in one inspiring space.

Our mixed-age kindergarten room is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence through

play-based learning.
Younger children thrive by learning from older peers, while older children strengthen leadership and

social skills in a caring, inclusive environment.

Our educators create warm, supportive spaces where all child’s strengths and interests are valued.

Through hands-on exploration, inquiry projects, and meaningful relationships, we help children build

independence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning, preparing them for school and beyond.

​

2026 Kindergarten Schedule

​

In 2026, our Kindergarten will operate three days per week, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
