A Great Place For Your Child to Learn & Grow!
Our program incorporates the Montessori philosophy with a Christian base. Each child is individually assessed and placed in the appropriate area that best suits their growth and maturity. We utilize the introduction of practical life skills, a daily bible lesson, sensory, language and activities to promote socialization and learning. We also, strive to assist each child in gaining the skills needed to become independent and creative. Our goal is to move our students to the next level of learning.
We Provide: Parent/Tot, 3's Preschool, 4's/5's Preschool, and Kindergarten. We also have a large 1 acre playground and bike pad.
