• Research based, developmentally appropriate approach to academics

Research shows that preschoolers learn best through play.  Our curriculum will prepare your child for kindergarten, through games, experiments, and activities.

• Safe and nurturing environment

We offer a peanut-free environment for those with allergies.  Children are only released to those people designated on their registration card.  We know that for many this is the first time you will be leaving your children in someone else’s care, and our staff is well-versed in helping with this transition for both parent and child.
