We're a small high top performing preschool that is located in the park. Our preschool specializes in the Performing Arts where children learn music, dance and theater. Your preschooler will truly love our environment and curriculum. Our philosophy is to develop the whole child in all aspects of their young lives. Children between the ages of 2 and 6 develop physical coordination, formulate and combine ideas, are able to learn more complex games, and begin the journey of learning about themselves and each other. Being playful while learning is the best way to help children to remember and later apply concepts they have learned. Play and performing arts are stitched throughout our daily activities. Foreign language is introduced and expanded upon throughout our preschool curriculum. Our teachers provide individual attention to support every child’s unique needs. Our preschool curriculum allows our children to thrive and introduces language, math, science, and social skills in a way that encourages learning at every child’s own pace. Our children strengthen their cognitive and social skills with fun memory games and team activities which combine creative expression with a tactile experience in a group setting. Math and science skills are developed with hands-on experiences and supported by elements of the performing arts. Language experiences are introduced with performing arts integration to support accelerated literacy and language development. Let's learn together!

Our childcare is run like a home not a center. We keep things warm and personal so every child feels comfortable and happy. The group is small which means each child gets one on one attention and grows at their own pace. We cook fresh homemade food every day made with care and hygiene. We keep everything clean organized and safe so parents don’t have to worry. We spend time on simple activities that match each child’s age things like music stories drawing sensory play and outdoor time when the weather is nice. Children also get gentle support with potty training using patience and routine. We believe nature is important so we let children explore outside and connect with the environment even in small ways. No deposit is needed to join and we offer holiday discounts to help working parents. Our goal is to make children feel safe healthy and loved while they learn and grow just like they would at home!

Care Member says "Teacher is the best in her field. She brings her extensive experience to her classroom. My toddler is always looking forward to come to her daycare. "
