Daily Practices Develop Respectful Interactions

Your child matures and becomes more responsible with concepts like well-mannered speech, self-care, and independence. Positive reinforcement helps them practice good behavior and contributes to developing polite and accountable adults.

Delicious Meals They Love Provided Daily

Your child receives delicious and healthy meals prepared from scratch with nutritious and fresh ingredients daily. Meals include exciting themes like Asian Day, Meatless Monday, Italian Day, Mexican Day, and All-American Day to satisfy taste buds!

Your Child Grows Strong With Simply Natural Milk

Give your child locally sourced and processed milk for the best experience possible. They benefit from well-cared-for cows that produce milk that tastes great and provides the necessary nutrients to stay healthy.

Spanish Lessons Strengthen Their Communication Skills

Your preschooler has support in their learning with enrichments like fun Spanish lessons that broaden their communication skills. These lessons, included in their tuition, are an ongoing part of what makes their experience unique.

Never Miss A Moment With The Procare® App

Stay involved with everything your child is doing through your Procare® parent app. See their activities firsthand through photos and videos, capturing everything from their mealtimes to their learning to help establish a solid parent partnership.

A Homelike Environment For More Enjoyable Experiences

A fresh, clean, and safe environment enhances a sense of order. Your child loves their bright, happy classroom where they feel at home. This sense of comfort helps them focus and boosts their enthusiasm for learning.

A Safe & Secure Facility Means Peace Of Mind

Security is a top priority so you can breathe easily and your little student can learn. Teachers and staff have the training to maintain safe habits and practices. Security measures throughout the building include cameras, locked doors with card-restricted access, and a fenced-in yard.

Teachers Are Both CPR And First Aid Certified For Your Peace Of Mind
