They are now offering two program options. Four days per week, four hours per day classes that run Tuesday through Friday with three different time options, 8 a.m., 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. or five days per week, six hours per day, Monday through Friday with one time option, 8 a.m. Two meals per day, served family-style, are provided.
