Experts In Early Childhood Education

Guided by the Reggio Emilia approach and endorsed by NAEYC, we educate with sensitivity to each child’s needs, respecting their interests and learning styles. Experienced and passionate, our preschool teachers are experts in early childhood education and are a true partner in your child’s academic growth, socio-emotional health, and physical well-being. As researchers and co-learners with children, they explore alongside them, becoming involved in learning experiences as guides and resources.
