A Multi-Age Learning Environment
Our preschool welcomes children ages 3 to 6, creating a unique blend of experiences that benefit every child. Younger children learn from older peers, gaining valuable social and cognitive skills, while older children develop leadership abilities and confidence as role models. This dynamic fosters collaboration, empathy, and community within the classroom.
Expert-Led Program with Specialized Support
The program is led by our preschool teacher, and supported by occupational and speech therapists. This collaborative approach ensures that children receive comprehensive care and guidance, whether they have a diagnosis or not. Our inclusive environment encourages understanding and acceptance, helping all children thrive.
Structured Schedule with Ample Opportunities for Growth
Our carefully crafted daily schedule provides structure while allowing for creativity and exploration. The curriculum includes activities that support cognitive, social, fine motor, and gross motor development. From engaging classroom lessons to physical activity in our indoor gym space, every part of the day is designed to enhance your child’s skills.
Inclusive and Understanding Community
We proudly welcome children with and without diagnoses, creating a classroom where differences are celebrated and friendships flourish. This inclusive approach helps all children build social-emotional skills.
