Our Philosophy
Our program is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children and promote kindergarten readiness. Our highest priority is to ensure that our students are protected both physically and emotionally. We want to provide children with meaningful and relevant opportunities to develop their full potential. Research has shown that kids do better in school when they work on both their social and academic abilities. Therefore, we employ a curriculum that gives children the greatest possible opportunity by providing them with early access to high-quality education. We acknowledge the link between excellent mental health and academic success in children. As a result, we allow children to express themselves in a secure environment surrounded by caregivers who love and support them. We see parents as the main and most essential providers of care and nurturing for their children, and we believe parents and teachers should work together to care for and educate them.

Toddler (2 - 3 years)
Our teachers understand and honor each child’s need for independence and self-confidence. We find a balance between offering the children the freedom to explore and make choices, and being there to give hugs and words of encouragement when things don’t go their way. We provide meaningful, hands-on opportunities for exploration as we encourage your child to learn more about the world around them, using lesson plans focused on their achievement of developmental milestones.

Teachers combine the use of child initiated activities and small-group instruction to expand each child’s skills and knowledge.
