Our creative staff provides a warm, loving environment that encourages social and developmental skills and fosters a positive self image.

Classes are taught by a well-trained staff consisting of certified teachers and teachers’ aides.  All staff members are certified in CPR and First Aid.

Additional Information:

Our curriculum offers a stimulating program for all children to excel in math, science and reading readiness. Every day children have opportunities to learn, laugh and play! Through our music and movement classes and daily outdoor play, we keep the children's gross motor skills tuned, while our manipulatives in the classroom keep their fine motor skills progressing. Our arts and crafts activities promote creative development and independence.  Games and stories keep all of the children fully engaged and having fun!
