MEET THE TEACHERS

We believe that children have individual needs and should be provided with opportunities for educational growth and development. Our goal is to provide the children with a rich learning environment that offers many interest areas and creative challenges. Providing an enriched environment that gives children the opportunity to learn through hands-on exploration and play is imperative to their development. It is important to us to provide a safe, clean, and happy environment. We will help your child be ready for kindergarten while letting them explore through play and help them build relationships.
