Full and part-time openings.

We believe in fostering the self-worth of each child and helping each child develop self-care skills.

We believe learning through play is the best way to learn.  Play is a natural, built-in device for learning.  By playing alone as well as with others, the child learns to solve his or her problems, increase his or her knowledge and skills and explore his or her environment.

We believe the child who encounters learning in an enriched setting and is encouraged to exercise his or her creativity, will grow and thrive physically, socially, emoionally and intellectually.

We believe a child's individuality and way of learning - at his or her own pace and in his or her own style - should be respected.

We believe children hasve the right to dinity, value, kindness, honesty and empowerment through choice.
