Exceptional Education For Exceptional Readiness!

Your Child Heads To School Reading At A Kindergarten Or 1st-Grade Level

French, Mandarin, & Spanish Immersion Are Real-Life Skills

Your child regularly hears 4 languages—English, French, Spanish, and Mandarin—and learns about the structure and vocabulary of each. Learning languages creates new neural connections in the brain, giving your child a cognitive and communications advantage that lasts as they grow.

Enrichment Classes Like Culinary Arts & More Broaden Their Skills

With over a dozen onsite enrichment programs, your child explores cooking, dance, Lego® engineering, knitting, and more. Check for information on the latest offerings and register your child because space is always limited, and enrichments are popular!

WOW! STEM, Art Immersion & Environmental Leadership

Your child enjoys art immersion to stimulate creativity, regular STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) projects that boost problem-solving and creativity, yoga and mindfulness to build crucial brain-body connections, and environmental leadership to tackle tomorrow’s critical issues today.

Social-Emotional Learning With Daily Yoga & Mindfulness

Teachers use Conscious Discipline® and Love and Logic to help your child learn to express and regulate emotions, be kind, respectful, and empathetic, and be a confident self-advocate. With these curricula partnered with yoga and mindfulness, your child becomes a social-emotional champion!

A Library & Gross Motor Area Support Their Budding Interests

With learning centers inside their classrooms, a library full of age-appropriate books and materials, and a gross motor skills room with play structures and projection games, your little learner has ample indoor opportunities for physical, academic, and social development.

Save Time & Money With An All-Inclusive Food Program
