KENT, Conn.—Kent Community Nursery School, 6 Bridge St., announced it is initiating “Xtra Days Program” for families in the area who need flexible childcare.
“This is a great option for families who are enrolled in another childcare program but would like their child to join us on days their regular program is closed. This is also for families who vacation or visit family in the Kent and surrounding area during the school year,” Veronique Mertl, KCNS director, said in a recent interview.
The Xtra Days Program is open to children (including siblings) ages 32 months to 5 years old. KCNS is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, following Region 1 decisions for school closures due to snow or inclement weather.
KCNS notes that it will have regular hours on Region 1 Teacher Professional Development half days, but will be closed on the two remaining Regional Professional Development days, Feb. 18 and May 22, 2026.
Options and cost are: Xtra Full Day (8:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.) $95 per day; Xtra Half Day (8 a.m. – 1 p.m.) $55 per day.
