It's beginning to look like Halloween fun as children work on developing fine motor finger strength that will help them become strong writers in elementary school. The work of preschool is to expose them to new adventures and build a strong foundation for their future.

We celebrate children every day! This week we celebrated the NAEYC's Week of the Young Child. We are accredited by the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of the Young Child), an institute that sets the highest standards for quality in childcare. We enjoyed Music Monday, Tasty Tuesday, Work Together Wednesday, Artsy Thursday, and Family Friday. Check out our week of fun!
Thinking about preschool for your child? We have so much to offer! Registration is happening NOW for fall. Come for a tour any day, 9:30 am to 2:30 pm. We are nationally accredited, 4 star state rated. Our teachers are amazing and have all been with us for more than 10 years! We've been educating children since 1977. We cover cognitive learning/academics in a playful way while also helping children grow socially and emotionally. We have an organic garden, huge playground with natural elements, outside learning centers, art areas, and rich and varied child centered activities for your preschooler. Full or half day programs, 2, 3, or 5 days/week. Here's a look at some of our children enjoying their first school experiences!
Our annual pajama days returned last week! What fun! Pancakes, freshly squeezed orange juice, cereal tasting and a chance for children to explore new rooms as they rotated through the activities. Do your children need social interaction with others, fun events and activities to brighten the day, and loving teachers to guide them in building academic skills? Join us for preschool -- registration for new families begins Monday at 9 a.m. Stop by for a tour too. Call for more info. (623 606-4266) Don't wait...join the fun as a parent, hear the stories of preschool and be a part of our community!
Our mission is to provide a culturally diverse preschool community that incorporates family involvement while providing developmentally appropriate learning that focuses on each child’s unique interests and experiences.
We believe each child is a unique and unrepeatable human being. We also believe playing is the essence of the early childhood years and through play children learn, explore and grow academically, socially and emotionally.
