Three stages, one steady community
Every classroom meets your child exactly where they are — the same teachers, the same village, growing right alongside them from their very first steps to their first day of kindergarten.
Our Programs
Ages 2 - 3
Toddler Care
STARTING AT 18 MONTHS
Gentle routines, cozy spaces, and plenty of hugs. This is where trust is built first — with caregivers your child knows by name and a rhythm to the day they can count on.
- Predictable routines for eating, napping, and play
- Early language built through songs, books, and back-and-forth chatter
- Sensory and movement play that turns discovery into joy
- Daily communication so you never miss a milestone
Ages 3 - 4
Preschool
Curiosity takes the lead. Children build friendships and grow their independence, with letters and numbers introduced through hands-on projects rather than worksheets.
- Letter and number exploration woven into play
- Guided friendship-building and conflict-solving skills
- Creative arts, dramatic play, and open-ended exploration
- Growing independence with daily routines and choices
Ages 4 - 5
Universal Pre-K (UPK)
Kindergarten readiness with a focus on problem-solving, creative thinking, and community projects. We prepare our blossoms for their next big adventure with a strong foundation of social-emotional intelligence.
Warm Welcome & Free Play

Students will gather for their morning circle, where teachers will review the Question of the Day, today’s date, days of the week, months of the year, letter and number of the week, and the weather. The teacher will read aloud to students. Students will learn the Pledge of Allegiance in both English and Spanish. Class jobs are given and reviewed.
Center Time & Free Choice Play
Students rotate between centers and activities, with some being independent and some being teacher-led. Centers include writing, math, science, dramatic play, blocks, music, fine motor skills, and art.
