Our children’s rooms are light filled and offer small class/group sizes and learning experiences that encourage exploration and growth. Our abundant and leafy outdoor playgrounds facilitate year-round physical activity and encourage an appreciation for nature, as the children tend to our vegetable gardens and pets. Both our indoor and outdoor environments are designed to be adaptable to suit every age, stage and ability.
