Babies
A nurturing environment as babies explore and learn about the world around them. Staff trained in hygienic diapering and feeding.

Toddlers
The natural curiosity of toddlers guides fun and engaging learning activities. Choice time includes group and self-directed centers.

Pre-School
Kindergarten readiness takes center stage. Letters, colors, shapes, and sight words are taught. Children begin to write their own name.

Pre-K
Pre-K competencies/benchmarks guide all learning. Children learn how to play well together as they grow socially and emotionally.

After School
Individualized homework help and outdoor play help children feel balanced. Use of programs on iPads and computers reinforce learning.
