We are a nonprofit parent cooperative, which means we place a premium on parent involvement and the home-school connection. Our unique and vibrant preschool program is play based, child centered, and deeply rooted in developmentally appropriate, research-based best practices. We utilize an emergent curriculum model and believe strongly in the innate capability of all young children.
