Our staff has over 140 years of early childhood education experience.
We continue to encourage staff to participate in workshops and trainings to be kept abreast of any new early childhood educational trends.
When you visit our center you will see how the continuing education classes are apparent in the classrooms.
Every day, our staff go above and beyond the toddler curriculum, preschool curriculum, and pre-kindergarten curriculum with fun projects and activities to make learning fun.
We would love to have you visit and speak to the staff.
