Pre-K 2 - Ages 3 to 4
Opportunities are given each day for the children to learn about mathematics, science, art, and literacy while incorporating music and gross motor activities. Most of these things are learned through play and imagination is encouraged. Our Pre-K 2 students still learn and are taught the social skills that they need to succeed while in a loving environment. We have a 10 to 1, child/teacher ratio.

Our toddlers learn through play by exploring the classroom and outside playgrounds. They get to experience lots of hands-on activities while starting to engage in small group activities. We have a 5 to 1, child/teacher ratio.
2's - Ages 2 to 3
Our two year olds get to experience age appropriate activities and materials that develop confidence, self-esteem, and a love of learning.
