How we started

From a small in-home daycare to a thriving community

What began as a small in-home daycare has grown into a four-program school for children ages 2–5, plus a summer camp. Through every year of growth our values never changed: small classes, a 1:10 teacher/student ratio, consistent teachers and a deep respect for how young children learn.

We believe play is serious work. When a child sorts blocks, negotiates a turn, or paints a story, they are building the brain — and the heart — they'll carry for life. Our job is to protect that work, cheer it on, and root it in God's love.
