A great way to begin your Child’s School life

Message from the Director

7

Our school has been a proud staple in the community for over 50 years. We are here not only to support and nurture the children in our care, but also to partner with parents and families every step of the way. 

To us, our school is more than just a school—it is a second home. We want every child to feel safe, loved, and valued, and we want every family to feel a true sense of belonging the moment they walk through our doors. 

It is an honor to now serve 3rd generation families, a testament to the trust and relationships that have been built over the decades. We look forward to continuing this legacy of care, education, and community for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the enrollment process?

Our enrollment process begins by scheduling a tour of our facility. To move forward, families will need to complete an enrollment form and submit both the enrollment fee and security deposit (which is applied to your child’s last month of tuition).

Once those items are received, you will be given a packet of paperwork to complete. Some forms will also need to be filled out by your pediatrician. When all forms are returned, your child will be ready to begin on their anticipated start date.

Do you provide meals and snacks?

At our school, we provide both a morning and an afternoon snack for all children. Families are responsible for providing their child’s lunch each day. If you choose to pack a meal that requires warming, we are happy to heat it up for your child.
