Resources & Skills
Our preschool curriculum is play-based and utilizes educational resources from Creative Curriculum and The Erickson Institute, as well as educational principles from Waldorf and Montessori. Our approach focuses on strengthening your child’s social and emotional skills, their positive interactions with others, independence, and pre-academic skills. We feel confident our program will create a positive foundation for your child’s educational future.
Child Care Needed?
If your family needs child care and would like to utilize our Kids Club program, we now offer both AM and PM sessions. The AM session is 8:15 AM to 12:30PM and the PM session is 11:00 AM to 3:15 PM. Please see our Kids Club page for more information.
