Smaller Classes Mean Your Child Gets More Attention

One less student per teacher than required by the state makes for a much more comfortable classroom. In a smaller group, teachers tailor lesson plans to your child and give them the one-on-one attention they need to hit their developmental milestones and learning goals.

Wow! 2 Hours A Day For Fresh Air & Outside Play

On average, your little learner will spend 2 hours outside a day, which is more than any other preschool in the area. Time outdoors improves mood, memory, and behavior, and children learn the value of an active, healthy lifestyle early on.

The Outdoors Are An Extension Of The Classroom With:

  • Exciting teacher-led activities that make the most of their outdoor learning time.
  • Environments full of blocks, gross motor toys, and artistic & dramatic play materials.
  • Many opportunities for children to work cooperatively and become independent leaders.
"If we want our children to move mountains, we first have to let them get out of their chairs."
