Nothing Matters More Than Their Safety

You shouldn’t have to wonder if your child is safe. We protect their world with restricted access doors, security cameras in every classroom, playground, and on both sides of the building, and fenced outdoor spaces. Our CPR-trained team, professional daily cleaning, air purification, disinfecting foggers, and hospital-grade sanitization go the extra mile—so you can walk away each day confidently, without worry.

We Take Learning Beyond the Classroom

With large, turfed yards, gardens kids help tend, and a real outdoor classroom with seating, chalkboards, and sensory science zones, we turn learning and play into something truly memorable. Fresh air fuels big thinking, focus, independence, and problem-solving skills and learning outside helps little ones grow stronger, braver, and more connected to the world around them.

Creative Curriculum^® Builds Lifelong Skills

Our play-based, research-backed approach nurtures curiosity, problem-solving, and confidence. Children engage in storytime, music, aerobics, circle time, outdoor games, and much more. With the Creative Curriculum®, children build strong academic and social-emotional foundations through hands-on learning and discovery, setting them up for success in school and life. It’s learning they’ll carry with them forever.

True growth happens when we nurture the whole child—mentally, emotionally, and physically. Our curriculum uses the Ages and Stages Questionnaire^® to understand each child’s unique strengths and challenges. This allows us to personalize learning and support every child where they are.

Nutritious, Allergy-Safe Meals Included Daily

Through the CACFP program, we serve fully organic, allergy-conscious meals in a nut-free environment. Catered options are tailored to each child’s dietary needs so that parents can rest easy and kids stay healthy, full, and focused, all included in your tuition.

Your Parent App Keeps You Connected

Stay involved in your child’s day with real-time updates, photos, and messaging through our Procare® app. From daily activities to important announcements, you’ll always feel connected, informed, and part of your child’s learning journey, no matter where your day takes you.
