Description: Our program is committed to providing a high-quality early childhood experience where children feel joyful, capable, and inspired to learn. Our hands-on curriculum is guided by the Vermont Early Learning Standards (VELS), and focuses on learning through play, exploration and meaningful experiences. Through engaging developmentally appropriate activities, children build skills in social-emotional development, literacy, math, science, creativity and problem solving. We strive to create an environment where childhood is honored, curiosity is encouraged, families are welcomed, and every child has the opportunity to grow into their fullest potential.
