  • "I’ve absolutely loved having my son enrolled at this preschool! This is our second year here now and we have had the best experience. Every single teacher I’ve met has been so sweet and caring towards the kiddos. The front office ladies, especially Miss Lisa, are also so helpful and welcoming! We are going to miss this preschool next year once we’re in kinder!

We provide opportunities for children to actively explore and investigate their surroundings.

We foster brain development through independent play and we foster language development through positive social interactions and classroom activities.

We encourage social and emotional growth by promoting positive friendships and teaching kind, respectful interactions.

We model appropriate behavior whenever possible and create an atmosphere that fosters self-confidence, conflict resolution, self-control, patience, kindness, and love.

We provide children with materials to develop and strengthen finger movement, grasp, hand preference, and cutting & pre-writing skills.

We offer opportunities to increase the function of large muscles, spacial awareness, bodily control, and balance.
