About the Provider
Our Early Childhood programs are child-centered, offering developmentally- appropriate activities. We use the Creative Curriculum, a play-based curriculum to help children learn. We believe that children learn best in a nurturing, safe and supportive environment. Children play outdoors each day, year-round. A typical daily schedule consists of breakfast, activity time, outdoor time, lunch, quiet activity time, snack and outdoor time. A nutritious breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack are offered daily at no additional charge. We have a Pre-K Partnership with the area schools and we offer a tuition discount for children in our Pre-K program who are 3 years old prior to Sept. 1 each year.
