Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to balance structured learning with the joy of play, fostering independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of discovery.
OUR PROGRAMS
What Makes Our preschool Program Unique
We believe that learning should be an adventure. Our program combines a nurturing community with a curriculum that is both engaging and academically sound, setting your child up for a bright future.
Inquiry-Based Learning
Inquiry-Based Learning
We encourage children to ask questions and find their own answers. Through hands-on projects and thematic units, they are introduced to the scientific method and explore everything from the wonders of the natural world to the basics of community helpers.
Fostering Independence
Fostering Independence
Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed to support your child's growing independence. All equipment, materials, and furniture are sized for their use, empowering them to take on new responsibilities from managing their personal belongings to making choices during free play.
Foundations in Math & Art
Foundations in Math & Art
We believe in a holistic approach to early education. Our block area cultivates foundational mathematical concepts of shapes, balance, and spatial relationships, while our art program encourages children to embrace the creative process for its own value.
Daily Music Lessons
Daily Music Lessons
Music is a core part of their daily experience. Unlike "add-on" programs at other centers, our preschoolers have the unique privilege of participating in small group piano or violin lessons taught by our roster of highly qualified music instructors-a $1200 monthly value at no extra charge! This builds a strong musical foundation and an appreciation for the arts.
