Our programs

Our classrooms are based on the age and ability of each child. We believe children learn best in a safe, loving environment where they can explore the world around them and learn social skills with their peers. For that reason, we integrate curriculum as well as many opportunities to learn through everyday play activities.

  • Infants

    We offer infant care starting at 6 weeks of age. Our two smaller classrooms allow for an intimate and individualized environment with one teacher for every four babies. Our larger infant room allows space for your child to learn to roll, crawl, and walk! As your little one starts the journey with us, we will work with you to make this transition a happy time by building a bond that feels like family.

  • Toddlers

    Toddlers love to discover the world around them. We allow them to do this in a safe, loving environment. At this age we are teaching them how to use utensils, clean up after themselves, use the potty, share with friends, and follow basic rules.

  • Preschool

    Our Preschool program strives to teach children to become more independent while increasing their knowledge. We integrate an educational curriculum with social-emotional skills that your child needs to progress through school. We focus on learning to sit during circle time, waiting patiently in line, and participating with peers.

  • Pre-Kindergarten

    Our Pre-K program is for those entering kindergarten the following school year. Our curriculum is designed around the "qualifications" your child needs to enter kindergarten. This includes math, language & literacy, science, and more!

Daily Schedule

Although things can change depending on the day, we follow a basic schedule for ages one and above. For infants, we follow the schedule that works best for you and your child.  As children approach one year, we start to transition them to the school-wide schedule.
