Our Mission

Our school, with all professionally trained and experienced teachers, is an educational preschool program that encourages social, emotional, intellectual, aesthetic, and physical growth for children between the ages of 2 and 12 years old.

Opportunities are provided for children to explore and experiment with materials designed to introduce them to concepts in language, math, science, social studies, art, music, and movement; all with the purpose of encouraging them to find excitement and satisfaction in learning.

We also feel rich, unstructured materials that encourage joy in creative self-expression, are an important part of our program.
