Pre School
Morning Program (2-5 years old)

Five days per week or two days per week
9:00 am - 12:00 noon

Our preschool program engages children in a broad range of activities and themes giving many hands-on experiences to build their skills. Children learn to socialize and verbalize in a fun environment with loving adults. We do not require children to be potty-trained as we have found it easier for children to do their potty learning in peer settings. For details of our day go to our Schedule and Calendar page.

Kindergarten Readiness

Tuesdays & Thursdays
12:00 noon - 3:00 pm

The Kindergarten Readiness Program is designed for preschoolers in their last year before entering Kindergarten. We work on many of the same themes done in Kindergarten yet with a developmental approach. In this way we build a bridge to Kindergarten. Math, Music and Science are prevalent in activities and learning experiences. In addition the Kindergarten Readiness Program incorporates experiences in Memory Building, Journal Keeping, Pre-Literacy Skills, Spanish Songs & Stories and the Handwriting Without Tears Program.

Multi-Age Elementary School
All-day Program (5-10 years old)

This is the modern-day version of the one-room school house. Small classroom size enables more one on one instruction, positive interactions and individualized learning at each child's own pace. Lessons are formulated around a broad theme, such as "Patterns", or "Habitats" incorporating all content areas (Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Science, Computers and Art) as well as state standards ensuring a pleasurable, meaningful learning experience. Extension programs include: Music, Spanish, Physical Education and Field Trips. This is a great program for families who've considered homeschooling their children.
