Our Philosophy & Mission
Play-Based Curriculum
Our programs are structured around learning centers and play activities that enable children to investigate at their own pace. Our play helps build foundations for skills in mathematics, reading, science, art and music, as well as large and small muscle coordination.
We focus on the WHOLE child, helping them navigate social and emotional challenges as well.
