We keep our group sizes small to ensure every child gets the attention and support they need. The number may vary slightly depending on age groups and the day, but we always maintain appropriate ratios for safety and engagement.
Yes! We provide a nutritious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack daily. Meals include organic fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthy proteins. If your child has dietary restrictions or allergies, just let us know. We’re happy to accommodate.
We welcome infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. Our programs are tailored to each stage of development, from first steps to kindergarten readiness.
Absolutely. We have an open-door policy for parents. You’re always welcome to stop by or text us during the day—we’ll respond as quickly as we can, usually within the hour.
Enrollment is simple and personalized. Most families start by calling or emailing us to schedule a tour. During your visit, you’ll meet our staff, explore the space, and get a feel for our daily routines. If you decide we’re the right fit for your family, we’ll walk you through the enrollment form and next steps
We usually have 4 with 2 to 4 working at the same time depending on the day. Each staff member is trained, background-checked, and chosen for their nurturing, child-focused approach.
We use positive guidance strategies that focus on teaching, not punishing. We help children learn how to express their feelings, make good choices, and resolve conflicts in a kind and respectful way. Our goal is always to build self-control, not fear.
We begin our day with a gentle start — quiet time with a favorite book or calming activity. After breakfast, children enjoy free play, during which teachers work one-on-one with them on skills such as writing their name, letter recognition, and early number concepts. The morning continues with a dance party and circle time, where we explore the calendar, weather, colors in Spanish, and even the solar system. Together, we sing songs and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
Next, we head outside for fresh air and active play before returning for a nutritious lunch. After lunch, children participate in a group art project, then wind down for rest with yoga or a thankfulness circle.
Following nap time, we share an afternoon snack and spend more time outdoors, giving children the chance to play, explore, and connect with friends before parent pick-up.
If your child shows signs of illness (fever, vomiting, etc.), we’ll ask that they stay home until they’ve fully recovered. This helps us keep all the children safe and healthy. Full details are in our Wellness Policy.
Yes, we do. We’re committed to providing an inclusive, supportive environment for every child. We’ll work with you to understand your child’s needs and make any reasonable accommodations necessary.
