We provide care for children 3 months to 3 years old.

Our Music Specialist leads a Sing Along in each classroom several times a week; children may sing, explore the instrument played, enjoy musical sound, or play one of the many instruments available to them. Each Friday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. families are invited again to join our Open Art Studio, led by our Art Specialist, in an exploration of the creative process.
