Daily Schedules

The daily schedule at Ruston Christian Childcare and Preschool is designed to provide engaging educational and recreational activities for children. Our center offers a balanced schedule that includes time for instruction and free play, stories, motor skills development and rest. Children also enjoy a nutritious breakfast and lunch with healthy snacks every day.
