Welcome to Our School

Your child can learn with us in Infants, Toddlers, Early Preschool, Preschool, Pre-K, and Before and After School Care, from 6 weeks to 12 years. Families can count on Drop-in Care, Part-time schedules, and School Breaks for flexible daycare, so care fits your week. We accept third-party assistance for child care costs, and we can talk it through on tour. In summer, join Wondercamp for weekly themes such as Wonders of Garden, plus outdoor play. Infant days follow Learn from the Start®, where singing builds language, and Learn as We Grow® for Toddlers through Pre-K invites children to test ideas, like Pre-K children experimenting with cause and effect.

A separate outdoor play space for each age group means everyone gets room to move.

My family has had a wonderful experience with the director and teachers since day one when we toured the facility the first time. Great teachers, most of whom have worked there more than 10 years. Both of my kids enjoyed being there and made lots of friends as well. My son’s social skills really improved and he always shared what he learned that day. Overall, very good experience.
