Getting here from Shell Beach
Our campus is about 15 minutes from Shell Beach. Doors open at 7:30am and pickup runs until 5:30pm, which gives commuting families room on both ends of the day.
Drop-off is quick and outdoors: children head straight into the garden with a guide, so goodbyes stay short and cheerful.
