We are state licensed, Eco-healthy certified, use a play based and child led learning approach, and are Montessori inspired. We strive to provide each child with the highest quality of care possible. We maintain small class sizes to reduce overstimulation in the classroom and enhance the connection between the child and their teacher. Our approach values the human spirit and the development of the whole child—physical, social, emotional and cognitive. The teacher, child, and environment create a learning triangle. The classroom is prepared by the teacher to encourage independence, freedom within limits, and a sense of order. The child, through individual choice, makes use of what the environment offers to develop themself, interacting with the teacher when support and/or guidance is needed. Our standard hours of operation are 7:30AM-4:30PM. Tuition rates vary upon age of child, hours in care, etc.
