Our Programs
School Year Program
Our School Year Program welcomes children ages 2 years 9 months through 5 years old, providing a nurturing foundation in:
Social-Emotional Growth: Building strong friendships, fostering confidence, kindness, and developing self-regulation in a caring, supportive environment. We focus on key learning dispositions such as curiosity, resilience, and perseverance—traits that lay the foundation for future success in all areas of life.
Learning Through Play: Exploring literacy, numeracy, science, and more through engaging, hands-on activities that support all developmental domains—cognitive, emotional, social, and physical—while sparking curiosity and creativity.
Nature Immersion: Connecting with nature, developing responsibility, and nurturing a sense of wonder and care for the world around them. Nature’s surroundings provide a calm, open space for children to learn, process their experiences, and engage deeply with their environment, enhancing their overall learning and growth.
The program runs daily from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with extended care options available (details below).
Our program provides a 5:1 student-teacher ratio, fostering a close connection between students and teachers that allows for individualized attention, meeting each child’s unique needs, interests, and pace. This relationship helps us understand and support your child’s strengths within a warm, nurturing community. Our goal is to help children develop confidence, kindness, and curiosity, building a strong foundation for lifelong learning and exploration, both in and out of school.
Summer Program
Our Summer Program extends the joy of learning through outdoor play and special thematic activities. Designed for both new and returning students, our summer session provides a fun, enriching environment where children ages 2 years 9 months through 5 years of age can explore, grow, and connect with new and old friends. The program runs Tuesday through Friday from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Please see below for details on extended care options.
