Children generally move through our classrooms by age. We also consider developmental readiness, individual needs, classroom availability, and reasonable accommodations. Most families stay with us for years, which is part of the point.
The color dot beside each program is the same color we use for it everywhere on this site, so you can find your child's age group at a glance.

Young children learn best through active, hands-on experience and purposeful play, by doing, exploring, interacting, and building positive relationships with the people around them. We put particular emphasis on early literacy and social emotional development. Our teachers help children build communication and problem-solving skills, recognize and regulate their emotions, cooperate with others, and grow more confident and independent.
Our goal is not only to get children ready for the next classroom. It is to help them become confident, curious, kind, and capable learners.
