Our Philosophy

Our goal is to nurture the curiosity and wonder little ones bring to learning. We feel children learn best by doing...so when you visit our classrooms, you'll see lots of hands-on learning going on. Building blocks, classroom pets, messy art, science experiments, cooking projects and more. Your child's day will be an opportunity to learn about the world around them as we explore weekly themes and expand their academic foundation.

Learning is about so much more than just the ABC's and 123's. Your child will also be developing their social skills as they learn to work & play with their peers, refine gross motor skills during outdoor play time, develop fine motor skills with art projects, pencil work & playdough, and develop an understanding of the scientific process as we learn about plant & animal growth, magnets & the solar system.

Parents are welcome to visit and volunteer in the classroom.
