Well-Rounded Learning With Love, Attention, & Guidance
Our program consists of developmental activities to foster your child’s social, emotional, physical, psychological, and academic growth within an atmosphere of acceptance, encouragement, and exploration. Our environment has been created with your child’s development in mind, helping them attain an edge in learning and when entering grade school.
A Unique Education That Blends Montessori, Play, & A Preschool Push
Our core belief, based on research, is that children between ages 2 and 7 are going through an adsorbent phase. During this growth phase, children absorb their environment and can learn without conscious effort. Experience a Montessori-inspired preschool focusing on fine arts, performing arts, and global awareness, allowing your child to excel in future classrooms and careers.
