Early Childhood Education

Starting your child on the path to developmental, social, cognitive, and creative success early on has proven to be enormously beneficial, both in their early years and throughout their life. Students who begin thinking creatively, collaborating with others, communicating, and thinking critically during the nursery age years start their education on the best possible foot, and we are dedicated to facilitating that growth from the start.

Since 90% of a child’s brain develops before Kindergarten, we focus our many resources on this most critical period, which is of the greatest value in scaffolding knowledge in later years.

Infants

Our teachers are the key to creating a safe and nurturing environment that provides plenty of one-on-one time with your child. A low student-to-teacher ratio (4:1) allows our staff to create an environment that enables your child to develop optimally physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually in our year-round, full-day, five-day-a-week program.

Older Infants

Our Older Infant Program is designed to support one of the most exciting stages of early development. Our year-round, full-day program is available 2 to 5 days per week. It blends gentle structure with free exploration, allowing older infants to move freely and build strength, balance, and confidence. With low child-to-teacher ratios, every infant receives the one-on-one care and attention they need to navigate important physical and emotional transitions. From the first steps to the first words, we create a safe and nurturing space where milestones are celebrated and growth happens naturally.

Toddlers

Our Toddler Program offers a nurturing, full-day experience—available 2 to 5 days per week—designed to support the incredible growth that happens during this energetic and transformative stage. With small class sizes and personalized attention, each child is encouraged to explore, express, and gain independence in a safe, thoughtfully planned environment. Our educators provide the perfect balance of guidance and patience as toddlers begin to explore their independence and interact with the world around them.

Preschool Threes

By age three, students are engaged in discovering the world around them and are exploring with sufficient stability to learn independently. Our Preschool Threes program, with a teacher-student ratio of 8:1, is designed to help each child develop habits of observation, questioning, listening, and emotional awareness. Through open-ended exploratory tasks, students are encouraged to make their own choices and prepare to utilize their intellectual and creative abilities in the future. This is a year-round, full-day program with the option to bring your child 2 to 5 days per week.

Preschool Fours

Our Preschool Fours Program is a year-round, full-day experience offered 2 to 5 days per week, designed to expand on the growth from Preschool Threes. With a balance of independent and group learning, children develop social skills, extend their attention spans, and explore foundational academics such as letters, numbers, writing, and patterning. Hands-on activity centers and teacher-led lessons nurture creativity, teamwork, and self-expression—meeting each child where they are and helping them thrive at their own pace.
