Our Mission

Our mission is to be a dynamic childcare facility that prepares our children academically, spiritually and physically to reach the challenges of a diverse and rapidly changing world.

Our Philosophy

Our programs will build a community of learners, which include students, professionals and parents. We believe  that in order to develop a student’s cognitive, physical and social growth; We must provide developmentally targeted opportunities. By advocating these opportunities, we strive to help each child develop personal integrity, nurture their artistic expression, think critically and work cooperatively.
