Our trained teachers and staff work closely with families to help children become critical thinkers, problem solvers, good citizens, and active members of our community right from the start. We value and incorporate your children’s ideas, wonders and interests into our curriculum, helping them gain confidence, knowledge and a lifelong love of learning.

Our team is carefully chosen based on the special qualities, experience and talents they have to offer to our program’s children. We also believe that it is important for our teaching staff to be dedicated learners themselves, and we provide numerous opportunities for continuing education and professional development throughout the year.
