Daily Yoga & A Calm-Down Corner Support Self-Regulation
Your child learns to center and balance themselves with breathing and stretching exercises that promote a mind-body connection. A dedicated calm-down corner features books that explore social-emotional development so your child can self-soothe and unwind.
Ready For Kindergarten With Pinnacle® & Life Skills
A trusted curriculum covers all learning domains for a well-rounded early education. Expert teachers ensure your child is prepared for the next step both academically and practically with skills like bathroom hygiene, dressing themselves, and following directions.
Daily Practice Sets Them Up For School
In Cherry class, your child masters the fundamentals. They know their numbers to 100, upper- and lower-case letters, and plenty of sight words. They perfect their cutting skills, create patterns, and learn to write their name for a solid foundation.
Exciting Learning Centers Inspire Their Curiosity
Your child’s fully stocked classroom features discovery stations dedicated to different areas of learning. Pre-kindergarteners explore science experiments, works with letters and numbers, express themselves through dramatic play, and build physical confidence for a well-rounded experience.
Social-Emotional Skills For Positive Relationships
Patient, supportive teachers use the gentle Love & Logic method to help your child identify and manage their emotions. They support problem-solving and social interaction skills that will serve them for life as they build firm friendships and self-esteem.
Healthy Food They Grew Themselves!
Tending fruits and veggies in the beautiful garden gives your child a sense of responsibility. Imagine their pride when they wash, prepare, and enjoy the fresh goodies they grew and what wonderful lifestyle habits they learn from the experience.
Strong Bodies With Active Play Every Day
Space to run and climb in the fresh air helps children develop resilience and healthy immune systems. An indoor gym with mats, bikes, parachutes, and giant Legos means they can work on their gross motor skills even on rainy days.
