Our Philosophy
Your child’s unique needs are at the heart of our flexible daily schedule. We cater to a diverse community, embracing cultural, language, and developmental differences. From indoor and outdoor activities that support motor development to problem-solving experiences that enhance speech and sensory skills, we foster holistic growth. Our program empowers children to express themselves through art, play, music, and more. With a focus on self-reliance, health education, and exploration, we create a real-world learning environment. Children thrive when they pursue their interests and when families are actively involved.
Our Programs
Infants
staff:child ratio = 1:4 group size 12
To ensure individualized attention for infants, we divide our classroom into two sections, with the youngest four infants spending most of their day with one primary staff member in the cozy smaller portion. Our playful approach encourages little ones to crawl, stand, walk, talk, and explore their surroundings. We inspire curiosity by introducing infants to what’s happening around them in group play and individual activities.
Toddlers
staff:child ratio = 1:4 group size 8
Our little explorers are given abundant opportunities to follow their curiosity and choose activities that ignite their imagination. Through playful exploration, artistic expression, and interactive circle time and music, toddlers connect, socialize, and share in the joy of learning. We cherish the importance of active play in nature, where they can walk, jump, climb, slide, play ball, and dance freely.
Preschool & Pre-K
staff:child ratio = 1:10 group size 20
We believe in nurturing the unique needs of preschool children through a blend of individual selection and group activities. Our little learners delight in making choices and exploring stimulating activities at our learning centers. Circle time, storytime, and music and movement create connections as children interact with their friends and teachers. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to spark learning through fun, exploration, and the power of choice.
