Infant and Toddler Daycare: Our nurturing infant and toddler program is designed to stimulate your child’s senses and development through a variety of enriching activities. Daily routines include joyful singing, interactive reading sessions, sensory exploration to discover the world around them, and the introduction of sign language to enhance communication skills. We focus on expanding vocabulary and achieving developmental milestones such as color and shape recognition, identifying common objects using picture cues, and building essential self-help skills like using utensils and sippy cups. Social skills, particularly sharing and cooperation, are fostered in a supportive and playful environment.

Preschool Programs: In our preschool program, children embark on a journey of discovery through hands-on activities that encourage learning at their individual pace. Our curriculum introduces a wide array of subjects, including foundational math concepts, scientific exploration, social studies to understand their world, health and safety awareness, and language literacy development. We believe in fostering curiosity and a love for learning through play-based education.

Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) Program: Our full-day Pre-K program is meticulously designed to prepare your child for kindergarten success. Our dedicated teachers utilize a comprehensive curriculum to implement developmentally appropriate activities that build essential skills.

Kindergarten readiness is our primary goal, ensuring a smooth transition to elementary school.
