Restricted Access & More Keep Them Safe
Your child stays safe and sound all day with modern security cameras, restricted access entrances, CPR-certified teachers, and sturdy playground fences. Have peace of mind knowing their safety is well protected.
Play-Based Discovery For Learning & Fun
Hands-on, play-based activities give your child a fun, engaging path to learning their academic basics, plus critical thinking and self-expression. They play their way to better cognition and communication skills with guided lessons and free time to explore their interests.
Social-Emotional Guidance That Builds Crucial Life Skills
Your child learns about self-regulation, kindness, empathy, respect, and responsibility from teachers who model these values and behaviors every day. Your little one becomes a trusted peer and a good citizen of the classroom and the world.
High-Quality Teachers For High-Quality Care
Educated teachers guide your child’s learning experience. 95% of lead teachers hold a Child Development Associate® credential or higher degree, and every assistant teacher is certified Career Pathway Level 2 or better. You know your child is in well-trained hands.
Smaller Class Ratios Mean More Personalized Learning
Your child gets more personalized attention and targeted instruction in a class with a low teacher-to-student ratio. Teachers truly get to know their personality, strengths, needs, and interests to help your child reach their milestones.
Blended Curricula For A Well-Rounded Education
Teachers support a Montessori- and Forest School-inspired approach to child-led learning and deliver academics with the proven, play-based Learning Beyond Paper™ curriculum. Weekly STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) activities promote critical thinking and creativity for a balanced learning experience.
Your Whole Family Feels Welcome With Festive Events & Seasonal Celebrations!
Enrichments Like Art & Yoga Built Into Your Tuition
Your little one loves learning yoga for movement and mindfulness, art and music for creativity and self-expression, and gardening for respect for nature and life cycles. They broaden their horizons every day, at no extra cost to you.
Outdoor, All-Season Play For Fresh Air & Exercise
Your child builds crucial muscles and motor skills, plus resilience and stamina, with all-season outdoor play on a spacious, age-level playground. They have room to safely romp, run, and climb with friends in the fresh air.
Field Trips Introduce Your Child To The World
Your kiddo explores the Fire Department, the zoo, the orchard, the pumpkin patch, and the COSI museum. Exciting visitors come to see them, too, like the petting zoo, weekly dance instructor, soil and water specialist, and the Dino-School social-emotional educator.
All-Inclusive Healthy Food Made Fresh Onsite Daily
Your child’s tuition includes a healthy, delicious breakfast, lunch, and snack, made fresh onsite every day by a dedicated cook. All meals cater to allergies and sensitivities and meet or exceed state and federal CACFP standards for childhood nutrition.
Expect & Receive Daily Communication & Support
Teachers use the Brightwheel® app, which integrates with Learning Beyond Paper™, to keep you in the loop about your child’s activities and milestones. Parenting courses on relevant topics and onsite therapies for your referred child support your whole family’s needs.
Cleaning & Air Purification To Safeguard Their Health
Staff clean and sanitize all classrooms and common areas daily, using electrostatic sprayers for hard-to-reach spaces and surfaces. Air purifiers scrub harmful germs, allergens, and irritants from the air to protect your child’s growing lungs.
