Description: Our aim is to provide a safe, caring, nurturing & stimulating environment that will help children grow & develop into happy, secure individuals who are able to interact positively with the people & things around them. The Preschool schedule provides a balance between quiet/active play, teacher-directed/child-initiated activities, and indoor/outdoor activities. The Preschool is divided into activity centers. During free time, children choose the area in which they would like to work. Teachers provide materials in each center that encourage a certain type of play or learning experience. The areas include: art & playdough for creative expression & experimentation; puzzle & game to refine perceptual skills & increase fine motor control; the book nook for reading, story telling & literacy activities; discover center encourages children to experiment & explore materials to gain an understanding of the physical world; the house area encourages children to role-play & problem-solve, drawing on experiences from their every day lives & imaginations; the block area encourages problem solving through balance, classification and is a foundation for later mathematical understanding. Activities include indoor & outdoor play, circle times, music & movement, drama & rhymes, science & discovery and games & magic circle.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

This is a wonderful place full of caring, intelligent and hard-working staff. The children are known and supported and challenged in ways that are best for them developmentally and socially. Focus is not on "academics" per se (which I LOVE) and there are multiple opportunities for children to write, read, and do math. Art, exploration, play (free and structured) and creativity are the vehicles. Kindness and self-awareness are at the forefront of the work the teachers and children do. I cannot speak too highly of this program. My son was a student there from 2.5 - 5 and I can't think of a better program to nurture and encourage him.
