What Parents are Saying

Our greatest advocates are also our closest friends.

"From the moment we drop off our child to the moment we pick her up we are comforted by the care, education and love you provide to her on a daily basis. With each day she is brighter, happier and a more well-rounded child"

Get involved in our Enrichment Activities

Because knowledge is more than just the ABC's.

School's Out - When school is closed, join us for our SCHOOL'S OUT program. We have a school age teacher who will be on site during the following days/weeks to provide a fun and educational program for your child in a safe, clean environment. Crafts, games and sports are just a few of the activities that are available.
Movement Program - An optional weekly movement program is offered through Jump-N-Fun. Program highlights include a variety of aerobic endurance activities such as skipping, hopping, jumping, wiggling, marching and running. Experienced, enthusiastic teachers use fun music and a variety of equipment.
Soccer - Soccer is offered weekly through Soccer Shots, a national soccer program designed for children 3-8 years old to introduce them to the game of soccer. Soccer Shots not only teaches children the basic skills of soccer but places a high emphasis on character development as well.
Field Trips - Periodic field trips are planned for the older preschool children and children in our summer camp program.
