Gan Shirly
2025-26 Registration Information Page
Welcome!
Bh, I am so excited to open registration for our newest location at 33 Downtown. As always, - I am here for any concern, question, or feedback and I will be happy to keep in touch throughout the enrollment process. (see contact form below).
Safety and a loving warmth in the children’s environment are the two most important things to me: I feel that in this age in particular you can teach them so much and they WILL absorb but warmth is what they need most.
Operating Hours
The Gan will start daily at 9 am thru 3:00 pm. We offer an early arrival of 8:30 am and an aftercare option, up to extra 2 hours (3 to 4 pm and 4 to 5 pm) - both entail an extra $100/mo per extra hour.
We will Iyh operate the official Gan Shirly program September thru June; Information on summer programs will be sent later in the year.
