School Philosophy and Mission

We feel a program designed for children should foster the child's natural inclination to explore materials, ask questions, talk with other children and adults and to become independent. This should occur in a safe and nurturing environment. We recognize individual differences and strive to help the child feel success and self-worth.

We provide activities, which are designed to improve physical coordination, language skills, the 'social graces' and foster creativity. We screen all books and strive to present the best in children's literature.
