Laying the Groundwork for Lifelong Learning

​

Our Pre-K Program, designed for children who are or will be 4 years old by February, helps your child develop into a curious, confident learner, with an awareness of the world beyond as they prepare for their future educational journey.

  • Hands-on projects and play develop reading, writing, problem-solving skills and a broader understanding of their world.

  • Monthly themes bring learning to life through books, art, music, science, and math

  • Topics like “All About Me” and “Holidays Around the World” connect personal interests with new ideas and awareness of other cultures.

  • Weekly Spanish class that enriches the children’s knowledge of the language and the culture.

  • Enrollment for 5 days per week 

  • 14 students and two teachers per class

While developing reading skills, your child will explore various facets of a favorite book, creating a multidimensional learning experience. They will create their very own books, celebrated at our “Publisher’s Party”—a proud moment for students and families alike.

 

We blend academics with movement, creativity, and fun:

​

  • Art, baking, block building, computer, dancing, discovery, dramatic play, games, gardening, group play, 

  • individual choices, puzzles, and singing

  • Our adventure outdoor classroom spaces and local field trips turn themes into real-world exploration
     

Your child will leave our Pre-K with a strong academic foundation, a love of learning, and the social-emotional skills to thrive.

 

* Friday Friends: If enrollment is not full in the 5-day class, children from other classes may join the class on Fridays.

Building Confidence Through Exploration

​

Our Nursery Program, for children turning 3 years old by December 1st, encourages independence, imagination, and joyful learning. Your child will be given many opportunities to develop their language skills, as well as grow socially and intellectually.

  • Thematic learning introduces new ideas like “Fall Changes,” “Animals in Winter,” and “Spring Gardens”

  • As an example, a month-long study of Eric Carle books ends with a special class performance of The Very Hungry Caterpillar in March

  • Weekly Spanish class that enriches the children’s knowledge of the language and the culture.

  • Enrollment for 4 to 5 days per week 

  • 14 students and two teachers per class

Your child will:

​

  • Children explore language, art, science, math, drama, music, baking, building, puzzles, games, singing, dancing, dramatic play, discovery, group play and individual choices through stories and hands-on experiences  

  • On our adventure outdoor classroom spaces, the children move their bodies outdoors through, active play, climbing, riding, swinging, gardening, discovering and dramatic play 

  • Local field trips turn themes into real-world exploration

 

We create a nurturing space where curiosity is encouraged, and every child feels seen and supported.

​

* Friday Friends: If enrollment is not full in the 5-day class, children from other classes may join the class on Fridays.
