Our methods result in comprehensive caring and nurturing for each child and in unique learning that is appropriate for each child’s age and developmental levels.

It is based on the continuous examination of each child’s developmental levels and readiness and emphasizes each child exploring and expressing their emerging inclinations, fascinations, interests, and enthusiasms. The program includes rich materials environments, varied groupings of children, and a team of exceptionally well educated, trained, and experienced professionals who collaborate with children and families to accomplish the desired development and learning for each child.
