PROFESSIONAL CLEANING STAFF KEEPS US SPARKLING CLEAN



Parents love the fresh smell of our hallways and the ultra-clean rooms. Having a
professional cleaning crew after hours guarantees a sparkling clean classroom
waiting for your child every day! Not to mention the non-stop wiping,
disinfecting, and more taking place throughout the day to keep your child’s
environment healthy.


KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE AND HEALTHY

YUMMY, HEALTHY MEALS AND SNACKS PROVIDED FOR YOU


Your child’s health is essential to their happiness. Providing healthy, hot
meals and yummy, nutritious snacks is one more way to support you and your
family.



LANGUAGE AND LITERACY AS THE BASIS OF ALL LEARNING


Pre-reading and later reading skills are what set your child up for school
success and increases the likelihood that they’ll pursue higher education.
Language and Literacy are crucial components of their learning plans and the
preschool curriculum.


SMALLER TEACHER-TO-CHILD RATIOS PER CLASSROOM BOOSTS YOUR CHILD’S LEARNING!


THIS TEACHING APPROACH GIVES YOUR CHILD THE ADVANTAGES OF:

 * More individualized attention
 * Highly personalized lessons
 * More warmth, love, and care


REST EASY KNOWING YOUR CHILD IS SAFE



Security measures are put in place, such as staff walkie-talkies, for our team
to stay in close contact. Highly-trained and responsible childcare
experts closely monitor classrooms throughout the day. Never worry about your
child’s well-being.




ENRICHMENTS LIKE SPANISH AND MORE BOLSTER LEARNING


Expose your child to different sights and sounds to help their brains to grow.
Daily art, music, and Spanish instruction are included in tuition. Ballet and
Soccer are extras available for ages two and up for a nominal fee.


VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS ARE EDUCATIONAL AND FUN


Children take a trip to the zoo, the pyramids, and may visit a waterfall from
the comfort of their classroom. Tying learning themes with various virtual field
trips creates a buzz around what your child is learning.



YOU ARE A PART OF YOUR CHILD’S EARLY LEARNING



The success of your child’s learning depends on our mutual respect and
partnership with you. The parent-teacher exchange committee (PteX) means you
play a fundamental role in your child’s academic success, self-esteem, positive
attitude, and behavior.


EPIC PLAYGROUNDS AND LARGE INDOOR GYMS FOR STRONG BODIES



Multipurpose rooms host large group play, obstacle courses, push toys, and more.
When the sun is out, so is your child! They take prop boxes outside filled with
blocks, cars, art supplies, and theme-related activities, all while exploring
large playgrounds and tending to lush gardens.




WE’VE EARNED TWO SOUGHT-AFTER ACCREDITATIONS
