We feature excellent toddler, preschool and kindergarten programs, follow up into the next setting, and morning and afternoon day-care for working families.
The Family School's mission is to provide quality preschool and kindergarten education to a diverse population of children and families.
We attend to a variety of children's needs to prevent school and family problems, including intense early intervention and follow-up programming for alumni.
