    Learning Beyond Paper

    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.

    A day at Jelly Bean Junction

    Each day blends hands-on learning with plenty of time to play. Children explore learning centers, early literacy, STEM, and art, and head outside daily on our 1.7-acre campus. Toddlers and preschoolers have a daily rest period.

    We will walk you through your child's classroom schedule on your tour.
