*ABC classrooms are open from 8AM to 3PM, Monday through Friday. If your child needs care before or after these times, you may enroll him or her in QCC’s before and/or aftercare program. Please see the “School Age Programs” page for more details. Ask your center’s director for pricing information.
IMPORTANT TIMES DURING THE DAY
8:00am – 8:30 am Breakfast
11:00am – 11:30 am Lunch
12:00 pm – 2:00 pm Nap/Rest Time
2:00 – 2:30 pm PM Snack
Please note that from 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM, children are preparing for naptime and resting. Dropping your child off during this time is strongly discouraged. This not only disrupts other children trying to rest, but it may also upset your child if they have to lie down for a nap as soon as they arrive.
Calendar
Holiday Closings
We will be closed on the following holidays. Should any of these dates fall on the weekend, we will observe the holiday on Friday or Monday, whichever day is the closest to the holiday. Tuition is not waived or altered for closings.
New Year’s Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
There will be other holidays, such as Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and Spring Break for which parents must sign up ahead of time in order for their child to attend. This allows us to plan the staff schedule and the children’s meals. Depending on the number of kids that sign up, directors will schedule staff for those children only and it is possible that the center will close early. Each center will have this information posted, so make sure you check with your facility about the closing time on these days.
Children enrolled in the ABC Program will follow the local school district’s calendar for holidays and school closings. If your child needs care when ABC classrooms are closed, please contact your center’s director.
According to Regulation 23.04 in the Arkansas Department of Education Rules Governing the ABC Program, we will follow the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment. ABC materials must be neutral with respect to religion, and no religious activity may occur during the ABC Day.
