Our licensed preschool programs all share the same philosophy of learning through play. Our Early Childhood Educators encourage & facilitate the children’s early education through our curriculum of fine arts, language acquisition, literature, cooking, math, science, physical education, and exploration as well as by building relationships of trust and security. Your children’s growing capacity for empathy, creativity and critical thinking will be nurtured and encouraged.
