I was a first grade teacher and 20 years ago I purchased a house and converted it into a preschool classroom. Since then I have purchased 2 more locations for a total of 3 in the Wash and Platte Park area accepting all ages from 6 weeks to 12 years.
My program incorporates a little bit of everything so we have some academics with lots of play and socialization.
We provide all meals and participate in the DPP, UPK and CCAP programs.
We offer part-time, full-time and half days options.

Ive had two children that have went through the center and they are so prepared for school once they get there. The amount of things he's learned has blown me away. They do prepare meals for them daily down to the very snacks. Ive never had to fear for their safety but being a parent your always apprehensive.
