Walk-In Wednesdays!
The best way for a student to get to know LCA is to come and see us in person! If you can’t make our next Open House, or want to get in the door a little sooner, we’d love to give you a tour!
Our facilities are open for summer programs (including Meadow Breeze Day Camp!) all summer long, and we’d love to show you around while the building is buzzing.
Walk-in any WEDNESDAY from 8:00AM – 9:30AM, June 29 – August 10, and we’ll be waiting for you!
