Infant Programs (1 mo - 1 yr)
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and ready to explore their world.
Mon-Fri , 6:30am - 6:30pm
Multi-Age Programs (1 mo - 12 yrs)
Toddler Programs (1 - 2 yrs)
Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.
Mon-Fri , 6:30am - 6:30pm
Discovery Preschool Programs (2 - 3 yrs)
This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them get used to a more structured school setting.
Mon-Fri , 6:30am - 6:30pm
Preschool Programs (3 - 4 yrs)
This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step: kindergarten!
Mon-Fri , 6:30am - 6:30pm
Prekindergarten Programs (4 - 5 yrs)
When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language, math, science, Spanish, and social skills.
Mon-Fri , 6:30am - 6:30pm
