In our dynamic home-based mixed-age learning environment, we create opportunities for social interaction and playful hands-on exploration to nurture and inspire young hearts and minds.

Programs
Toddler & Preschool
Our mixed-age toddler and preschool program serves children 12 months to 5 years old. As a home-based program, we enroll a maximum of 12 children per day, with a lead teacher and 1-2 assistant teachers at all times. Our low adult:child ratios allow us to support each child's individual needs. Additionally, we partner with enrichment teachers (e.g., gymnastics, music, etc.) and are proud to serve as a practicum site for student teachers who are working towards their ECE certification.
Parent & Me
We offer Parent & Me classes for parents and children 3 months to 2 years old. We provide a relaxing and engaging learning environment for you and your child to explore together. Come play and learn with us!
