Our Preschool and Kindergarten programs offer a nurturing experience for children to learn and grow individually and cooperatively with others. As skills and interests develop, self-confidence grows.

Our Early Childhood program, designed for children ages 3 to 6, offers a distinctive preschool and kindergarten experience that prioritizes child development through an arts-infused curriculum. Students engage in a rich variety of specialized subjects, including literacy, drama, science, social-emotional learning, and music, all tailored to nurture their growth and creativity.

In our classrooms, children learn to understand, express, and regulate their emotions, building a strong foundation for social and emotional development. Through activities that enhance both fine and gross motor skills, they also develop greater body awareness. Symbolic play and art seamlessly bridge the gap between imagination and the world of reading and writing. With warm guidance, patience, and kindness, our dedicated faculty provide a nurturing environment that fosters each child’s unique potential.
