A Play-Based & Montessori Approach Gives Them An Extra Edge In School

Children between 2 and 7 years old go through an adsorbent phase within their development. During this growth phase, children can absorb their environment and can learn without conscious effort. With a robust curriculum blending Montessori approaches, play-based learning, and a preschool push, your child gains an edge entering grade school.

Small Class Sizes Perfect For Personalized Care & Learning

Our teachers will personally guide your child. Our low student-to-staff ratio allows our team to better direct and encourage your child’s development. Watch their early social, emotional, physical, psychological, and academic skills and growth flourish from the beginning.

An Open-Door Policy Means We Connect Whenever You Need To

Children are natural learners, so they’re encouraged to explore at their own pace, with no grades and tests to shield them from undue pressure. Instead, daily observations and development are documented so that you receive updates, and we focus on growth and progress in multiple fields together.

Hands-On Learning For A Truly Invigorating Learning Experience

Creativity, songs, and playing are a core part of our curriculum. Your child will learn through play, language, art, and creative movement. As part of the Montessori approach, your youngster also enjoys the freedom to explore through their senses, keeping them highly engaged in their learning.

A Hot, Catered, Healthy Lunch Nourishes Them

Each day we serve a nutritious, hot, catered meal to ensure your child will be ready to play and learn! Children should bring two snacks from home. They try tasty new foods, build healthy eating habits, and learn essential table manners eating alongside peers.

Good Citizenry & Confidence Start With Social-Emotional Learning

Teachers create an environment of acceptance, encouragement, and exploration, allowing your little one to learn to love, communicate, and express themselves. With expert guidance and support, they learn essential life skills, socialize, explore, and become valued community members while working with peers.

A Global Education Sets The Stage For Diverse, Lifelong Knowledge

Thanks to “Culture Fridays” that illuminate the world around them, your child sets the stage for a future of deeper relationships and stronger connections alongside future peers and coworkers. They also discover new passions and develop talents with science, karate, sports, art, dance, and gardening enrichments.

Upon the first day of enrollment, we ask that you provide an extra change of clothing for your child to keep in their cubby in case of accidents. Clothing must be in a zip-lock bag, with their name labeled on it.
