Details about Options

We decide when to be open

Eagle Creek is a private school AND a MI-licensed childcare center and camp for children ages 2 to 12 years old, so we are allowed to make our own decisions about when our building is open and closed. We consider state recommendations and your family's safety.

you may switch between in-person and distance learning

You may switch between in-person and distance learning.
Distance Learning is from 1 to 4 p.m.
The school approves switches when they are due to health concerns, family job changes, etc.
The school does not approve switches because a family is waking up late, wants to go on vacation, needs babysitting, etc.
The in-person group and the distance learning group may not be working on the same lessons each day, so there may be an adjustment period.
There is no extra charge.
