We offer full-day and half-day preschool programs for 2, 3, or 5 days per week so that you can find a schedule that fits your needs.

  • Our Mission...

    Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging early learning environment that effectively supports the diverse needs of children and families in our community. We provide opportunities for social-emotional interactions to foster cognitive growth and physical development.

We offer an environment where your child will Explore, Play, Learn, and Grow surrounded by love and care.

  • Child exploring and holding colorful leaves

    Explore

    Your child will run, play, investigate, and explore through student-led play both inside and outside of the classroom. We believe in nurturing your child’s individual interests and imagination to enhance their love of learning and wonder toward their surroundings.

  • Preschool child laughing and running through the sprinkler

    Play

    Children learn through play. In our programs, your child will learn to develop healthy, respectful, and positive relationships with others through independent and collaborative play. We focus on developing the skills of respect, sharing, communication, and kindness in our everyday playtime.

    Learn

    Preschool is about fostering development and learning in all areas for young children. In our preschool programs, your child will work toward school readiness through development of number, letter, and color skills, and increased fine and gross motor skills. Through positive learning experiences, they will develop a positive attitude toward school.

  • Set of seedling plants

    Grow

    As your child grows in our programs, they will develop a healthy sense of self, positive self-image, and learn essential skills and routines that are foundations for life. They will develop everyday skills and school skills to support their educational future.
