With a 1:6 teacher-student ratio, we ensure personalized attention while preparing children for kindergarten success through structured curriculum and outdoor learning.
Toddler & Me
The Toddler & Me program engages 16-24 month-olds with caregivers in weekly 1.5-hour sessions. Through art, music, and play activities, we develop early socialization skills while offering parenting guidance. This 8-week program runs four times yearly, focusing on routine establishment and peer interaction in a nurturing environment.

Flexible classroom centers cater to different learning styles, with weekly assessments informing personalized lesson plans.
