Infant, Toddler and Preschool
Children enjoy enriching activities through a hands-on, child-centered curriculum that supports individual intellectual, physical and emotional development. Staff help each child develop a positive self-image and the skills they need to succeed in their first years of school.
Teachers are required to have formal education in Early Child Development, maintain 27 training hours annually, and be Pediatric First Aid and CPR certified.
