Your child has a place to grow with us through each new and exciting phase.

Is After-School Care Available?

Yes, our after-school program creates a relaxed, safe space where children can enjoy a snack, socialize, work on homework, and participate in hands-on activities.

Do You Offer Summer Camp?

Questions About Our Curriculum & Learning Philosophy

What Is the Reggio Emilia Approach and How Do You Follow It?

The Reggio Emilia philosophy views your child as powerful, capable, and full of potential. Our educators act as guides, observing and documenting your child’s interests to shape our curriculum. We believe the environment itself is a teacher, so our classrooms are intentionally organized to provoke curiosity and encourage collaboration. This approach is built on a deep respect for children and a commitment to learning together in a relationship-driven community.

How Does Play-Based Learning Support Child Development?

Play-based learning helps children build communication, problem-solving, and emotional awareness in real-time. During play, children test ideas, take turns, express themselves, and develop fine motor and cognitive skills while having fun.

Do You Follow a Set Lesson Plan Each Day?

There’s a thoughtful rhythm to each classroom, but every day allows room for discovery and conversation. Teachers prepare ideas and prompts that relate to ongoing themes, yet they stay flexible so children can guide the direction of the day’s activities. That freedom to explore creates a setting where curiosity and learning grow naturally.

Meals and Snacks

Do You Provide Meals and Snacks?

Yes, we serve wholesome and delicious meals and snacks each day. We believe that sharing food is a time for community and conversation. Our menus are created to be both nutritious and appealing to young palates, helping your child build healthy eating habits for life.

Do You Accommodate Allergies & Food Restrictions?

Your child’s health and safety are paramount. We work very closely with you to honor any allergies, dietary restrictions, or religious food preferences. Our team is trained in safe food handling and preparation to create a secure dining experience for every single child in our care.

How Do You Approach Behavior Guidance and Discipline?

We view challenging behaviors as opportunities for teaching and connection.

Instead of punishments, we use conversation and problem-solving to help children learn empathy, communicate their needs, and find constructive solutions to conflicts.
