Class Descriptions

About Our classes

We have 7 regular classrooms and 1 classroom designated for our music, fitness, library, and art classes. Our students attend library, specials and recess. All day students have lunch at school (provided by the family of each all-day student) and a short rest period. We choose to offer lots of opportunity to transition in and out of the classroom so students can experience a variety of learning and teaching styles.  We serve children beginning at the age of 2 up to 5 years old or the year prior to them entering kindergarten. 

Before & After School Care

Preschool: Runs from 7:00-8:30 am & 3:00-5:30 pm for children 2- 5 years of age and who are currently enrolled in one of our preschool classes. A snack is provided for each child in aftercare.

Summer ChildCare

We offer a full time childcare option for the summer to preschool and elementary age children.

Students are 2 years old. Class options include Tuesday/Thursday ($110/month), Monday/Wednesday/Friday ($165/month), or Monday-Friday ($220/month) from 8:30-11:30 am. 

Students in the Little Learners do not have to be potty trained, however, parents are expected to provide diapers, wipes, and diaper cream. This class is designed to aid young children in the development of social and motor skills. This development will be encouraged through exploration of art and the senses, songs, rhymes, and finger plays. The Little Learners provides students with the opportunity to become familiar with a school and classroom environment while learning how to cope with the anxiety of being separated from familiar surroundings.
