We are a Christian based early childhood school ranging from toddlers all the way up through PreKindergarten.
We have been a part of the Haverhill community for over 50 years, and we are proud to continue our service to this region & to the Lord! We love to learn through play, and adopt developmentally appropriate practices as we explore the world.
We believe every child and the way that they learn is important, and our classroom philosophies reflect that.
We look forward to many more years of serving children and families in the Merrimack Valley!.
