Learning to work with others is at the heart of preschool. Every day our children practice sharing, communicating, problem-solving and healthy assertiveness — through open-ended play, with caring teachers close by and grown-ups who model the kindness we hope to see.
Our curriculum builds early literacy, math and science through hands-on lessons and imaginative play, and every child gets a weekly gymnastics class plus regular music.
