We offer a loving, safe environment where our youngest learners experience the joy and excitement in school that inspires an early love of learning. Our programs welcome children ages 3 to 5, helping them develop confidence, independence and essential skills for kindergarten and beyond.

Each of our programs follow a curriculum that covers language, mathematics, science, social studies, music, religion, fine and gross motor skills. Individual, small group and large group work is incorporated into the day, through hands-on activities. Programs encourage not only the academic development of the children, but the social and emotional development as well.

We are proud to offer several options to celebrate each child's unique gifts and developmental journey. From half-day to full-day options, various days, multi-age programs to age-specific, traditional preschool curriculum to Montessori, there are many options available for your little one.

It is also available before school for our preschool and Montessori students starting at 7:15 a.m., so that they can be dropped off at the same time as our older students, to make the schedule easier for our families.
