Our programs are dedicated to providing a safe supportive consistent challenging and holistic environment for young children and their families. Each childs day has an individual rhythm as well as a predictable flow and structure. To ensure this balance we provide a warm nurturing setting that encourages children to learn through hands-on interactive exploration. A play-based approach provides a child-centered teacher-guided curriculum in which children are encouraged to construct their own knowledge. We are committed to creating a nurturing learning environment in partnership with parents to develop a sense of belonging and high self-esteem in each child. Our staff receive comprehensive ongoing professional development to stay current with the unique needs of young children and their families.
