About US

Using more than 25 years of experience, our infant, preschool and school-age programs are designed using the latest cutting edge, research-based educational tools and curriculum, all within a warm and home-like atmosphere. Our staff is also involved in on-going training and research in early childhood development to ensure your child is learning and developing using the latest research and techniques. We take pride in the learning program we have designed with the support of the California Department of Education and would enjoy answering any questions that you have about our program.

Our MISSION

We believe each child is a unique and valuable individual and must be offered equal opportunity and access to a high quality early childhood education regardless of the income of their family.

We believe in an “old-fashioned childhood” where children are free to learn and explore through imaginative play experiences facilitated by highly educated teachers and caregivers.

We believe children are the future leaders of our world and when their social, emotional, cognitive and developmental needs are met as children, society will benefit, as new leaders with compassion and vision are raised to think outside of the box and work together as a team to improve our world.
