Programs & Philosophy

Our picturesque, country like setting provides the perfect environment for pre-schoolers to fulfill their greatest potential and to develop the attitude toward learning which will foster their future development.

It is our belief that early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration and discovery. Pre-school children are creative and receptive. Our staff strives to nurture and encourage these qualities in the children who attend our program.

Our Nursery and Pre-School programs provide an atmosphere that encourages social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth and development of the child as a whole.
