Preschool Child Care

Preschool Child Care

Learning through play!

We meet the developmental needs of each individual child by working in partnership with their families. We utilize the Creative Curriculum; a research-based curriculum that is led by student interests, uses play as a tool for learning and encourages critical thinking skills through investigation and project-based learning. The interdisciplinary format uses different components for different parts of the school day, including math and literacy. Children are immersed in high-quality learning in a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment.

Plus, how many other child care centers have a pool and a gym???
