Our twin nephews were the inspiration behind the decision of owning a school. Through the experiences of family and friends, we began to understand the importance of quality early childhood education in a safe and nurturing environment.

How do you accommodate children with allergies or special medical needs?

How do you handle staff training and ongoing education?
All of our teachers and staff members are required to complete annual professional development training, including first-aid and CPR certification, child development coursework and curriculum workshops.
