Our innovative curriculums develop an eagerness to learn in a fun, nurturing environment.

We explore fine arts, learn Spanish and sign language, and integrate fun, brain-stimulating activities. Your infants and toddlers are loved and nurtured. Your pre-schoolers are readied for school with an eagerness to learn. This eagerness to learn accelerates their learning progress.

 

Why We Are Different

HEARING: We know children have a very short attention span and that trying to teach children by lecturing is ineffective. Information children hear doesn’t stay with them very long.

SEEING: Reading the information allows for a second impression on the brain and that increases the likelihood of even greater retention of the subject matter.

DOING: But we’ve also noticed that when a child combines hearing and seeing with doing, it produces a much higher degree of understanding of the subject.

UNDERSTANDING: That’s why we integrate hearing, seeing, and doing into our curriculum. It is the most effective way to insure every child retains more of the information presented. Once they understand the value of this method, they can use it to further their education as they grow.

The building seemed secure and clean. The environment seemed loving, fun, safe, educational, and happy—but calm. There was a lot of space in each room for easy, open playing. Good clean toys with a wide variety. Lots of space and toys outside too.
