A Blended Approach For A Well-Rounded Education

Teachers use the proven, play-based Learning Beyond Paper™ curriculum in a child-led, Montessori-inspired setting to deliver exceptional early childhood foundations for meeting academic and developmental milestones. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) activities encourage critical thinking and creativity.

Small Class Ratios That Support Personalized Care

Small class sizes mean your little one gets the personalized care and attention they need to thrive. Teachers truly get to know your child’s needs, strengths, and interests to ensure a tailored experience that supports their success.

Field Trips & Visitors To Bring The World Closer

Your little one learns more about the world around them with trips to the fire department, zoo, apple orchard, and pumpkin patch, and looks forward to visits from Dino School, the petting zoo, the music teacher, and more.

Outdoor Play For Exercise, Motor Skills, & Resilience

Your child goes outdoors to play in every season to build muscle, exercise budding gross motor skills, and find the resilience and creativity to have fun even in challenging weather conditions. Large yards and play structures support their everyday adventures.

Expect Daily Communication & Support For Your Family’s Needs

Teachers connect with you daily through the Procare® app, sending photos, videos, activity reports, and classroom memos. Take advantage of parenting seminars on the topics important to you, and get the support your child needs with referred therapies delivered onsite.

All-Inclusive Food Program For Healthy Meals Every Day

Your child receives a fresh, nutritious, allergen-conscious breakfast, lunch, and snack every day, made onsite by dedicated cook. All meals meet or exceed standards for state and federal CACFP guidelines, and come at no cost to you.

Restricted Access, Cameras, & More Protect Them As They Learn

Never worry about your child’s safety with strict security measures in place. Restricted access entrances, security cameras, fenced-in playgrounds, and CPR-trained staff protect their well-being from arrival to departure, every day.

Daily Cleaning, Air Purification, & More Safeguard Their Health

Staff works tirelessly to ensure a clean, germ-free environment for your child. Daily sanitization and electrostatic sprayers zap away harmful germs, and air purifiers remove dust, allergens, and irritants from the air for happy little lungs.
