Welcome!

We are a non-profit, parent-cooperative school for young children. Our school offers a balanced program, celebrating the development of the whole child. We emphasize activities which promote social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth and contribute to the child’s self-esteem and awareness of others. Our children learn through free play as well as organized activities and special projects. They enjoy experiences in art, music, movement, science, number awareness, and language development.
