Windmill’s Half and Full Day Programs

Windmill’s Half and Full Day Programs

Windmill offers half and full day options, giving children and families the flexibility to explore, learn, and grow. Extended hours allow teachers to focus on small group, targeted activities that build skills and deepen engagement.


A longer day builds independence and autonomy, letting children practice self direction, take responsibility, and engage in extended play and project work. Social emotional growth is supported as children collaborate, solve problems, regulate emotions, and develop resilience.
