A Thoughtful Beginning

Class sizes are intentionally limited to ensure personalized attention, strong educator-child relationships, and a high-quality early learning experience.

When spaces are full, children may be placed on a waitlist in accordance with our licensed childcare policies.

Our Philosophy

Our program respects each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. We believe children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships, supported by knowledgeable, caring educators.

This is a preschool / pre-kindergarten program, not a formal school program, and is designed to support children as they grow, mature, and prepare for their next stage of learning.
