About Us

Discover the Difference

    Are you looking for a child care program that is founded upon the way young children learn? Where children thrive not just survive? Where children are excited to arrive and hate to leave? Where full day children have different environments during the day with different teachers. A magical place where a 'zest' for life and learning is imparted daily? Where truly wonderful and educated staff value a child's play and the discovery process as fundamental to learning? Where laughter, mud, paint, water, sand, stories, art, science, and choice making are seen as the building blocks of life long learning? Where the foundation for critical thinking, divergent thinking, and the development of social skills are carefully nurtured? Sound different? Come visit us and experience the difference first hand.

• Thought provoking experiences (nature walks, good books, creating and acting out stories, gardening, cooking, hatch and release bugs, field trips, yoga for kids)

At first glance our center may appear a little wild and even chaotic; but if you STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN you will see fabulous plays being performed, incredible imaginations creating, and the pure emotions of children being expressed.

We promise to treat your child with kindness and respect (and show you the same courtesy)

Are we different from other learning centers?

As part of our learning through play:

• We get DIRTY

• We get LOUD

• We LAUGH

• We have FUN

• We make MISTAKES

• We LEARN

So dress your child for action! We encourage all children to get involved. Children should not have to worry about getting their clothes dirty. We promise that we will not evaluate the quality of you parenting by the quality of the clothing your child wears to school!
