"They really care for the children and it shows."
The staff is very warm welcoming and they do an amazing job with the children. They have soccer, yoga and a lot of other great activities.

"This is a wonderful environment for toddlers to thrive."
This is a wonderful environment for toddlers to thrive. My daughter is exposed to play, movement (indoor gym!), lots of music, dance, reading and arts everyday. They provide soccer and yoga classes weekly. And the kids get to explore the outdoors (great private playground) as much as possible. The school is led by warm and competent professionals dedicated to create a family oriented space. Some teachers have been there for many years. Did I mention the school bus? Lol. If you have this opportunity, don’t think twice. This is a hidden gem.

"Truly a special place!!"
Warm and welcoming with the most wonderful staff and teachers. Beautiful, bright classrooms with big windows, a private playground on site, and a brand new indoor sensory gym. Students enjoy art, music, books, and play, weekly yoga and soccer classes, and tons of fun activities. Yummy, healthy food and many services for the kids, and parents too! Caring teachers and lots of opportunity for parent involvement make it feel like a family.
