Bread and Roses Child Care Center Bread and Roses Preschool provides a play-based, hands-on approach to early learning. We enroll ages 3-5. Thinking of making a donation?

We foster independence and guide children through discovery, offering meaningful experiences that spark curiosity and support their unique journeys. When we created Bread and Roses as an alternative child care center we had in mind a place where the whole child would be valued and nurtured. We created a full preschool program with full day care hours. Our program stresses many different things, including emotional, social, physical, and cognitive growth. We teach all the required readiness skills to help prepare each child for further learning experiences. Our program is rich with creative learning challenges offered to the children each day. Our days are filled with fun and imaginative adventures. Our belief is that children will learn best when they feel good about themselves and their unique abilities, and when they are able to rejoice in loving and positive relationships with others. We believe that most children will learn beautifully when they are ready to learn, and that being ready involves both cognitive ability and a well developed sense of self. Our philosophy is based on a tremendous sense of trust of and respect for each individual child. We value family life, diversity, creativity, the ability to problem solve and make difficult decisions, and the right of each of us to make choices for ourselves. Our philosophy pulls from several different theories of child development and comes together in our daily life at Bread and Roses through the actions of our dedicated and loving staff.

Who are we? :)

It takes a special kind of person to nurture little minds every day, and the teaching team at Bread and Roses consistently goes above and beyond. From the moment you walk through the door, the warmth and genuine care they have for every single child is obvious.

It's more than just teaching kindergarten readiness; it’s about creating a safe, loving, and inspiring environment where kids can thrive, explore, and truly be themselves. If your child attends or has attended Bread and Roses, feel free to share your favorite memory in the comments below!
