Play. Learn. Grow.

Our Approach
We are a learning center guided by Christian principles and providing the highest quality care for young children and their families. We believe that home and family are the principal influences in shaping the body, mind, and soul of a child in their formative years; therefore, our teachers and staff seek to work together with parents to provide a nurturing environment that will begin a lifelong love of learning.

How much time will my child spend outdoors?Outdoor play is vital for young children, we spend a significant amount of time outside, weather permitting. Each classroom has a morning and afternoon gym/playground times. We venture off-campus for walks, in order to take advantage of the surrounding areas which allow opportunities to discover.
