We would like to inform everyone that Green Kids child care registration will open on August 1 at 7:00 PM. The registration link will be emailed to families and made available on the main WMAES website at that time. We are sharing this information now so you can plan accordingly.
As capacity will be limited, availability will be determined on a first-come, first-served basis in order of registration. Shortly after registering, you will be notified if space is available for your child or if they will be placed on a waitlist until space becomes available.
More information, including the Green Kids handbook and required registration forms, will be provided following the start of online registration. Thank you!
The Monday morning garden program is cancelled for Monday, July 22. Thanks for your understanding and flexibility.
