Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a preschool program that is developmentally based and age-appropriate. It is our desire to bring the very best of an early childhood learning experience to a child by creating a safe and exceptional learning environment from a qualified, loving, and experienced staff.
We believe that all domains of development (physical, cognitive, emotional, and social) are important and children ultimately benefit from having both teacher-directed and student-directed learning styles.
