​​Mission
We intend to educate our children in all aspects of development in a caring, loving, play-centered environment according to the most current research. We provide an inclusive program accepting of all races, religions, ethnicities and lifestyles.

Learning
​In each room for each age group the curriculum is based on the emergent skills and interests of the children. For all age groups the following focus of skills are:
​
+ Language, Literacy and Mathematics
