About the Provider
In 1997 we began our preschool with a class of seven four-year-old children. We have expanded to include classes for two-year-old children to full and half-day Kindergarten classes. We also offer an exciting Enrichment program for three and four-year-old children.
Our mission is to challenge children to learn, discover and grow emotionally, socially, physically, spiritually and academically.
