Our Program
Our Purposeful Play Approach
Our thoughtfully designed curriculum emerges from deep understanding of how young children learn and grow. Every activity is purposefully chosen to meet children where they are developmentally while sparking their natural curiosity and wonder.
Creative Expression flows through our days as children explore art, drama, dance, and music. These experiences don't just develop creativity – they build confidence, communication skills, and emotional intelligence.
Active Learning happens both indoors and outdoors, where children develop gross motor skills, spatial awareness, and a healthy relationship with movement and nature.
Storytelling and Language weave through our program, expanding vocabulary, nurturing imagination, and building the foundation for literacy success.
Collaborative Play teaches children the art of cooperation, problem-solving, and friendship through carefully facilitated group activities and free exploration.
Learning Through Choice and Discovery
We believe children are natural scientists, artists, and philosophers. Our environment invites them to explore, question, and discover through their own senses and experiences. Rather than telling children what to think, we provide rich opportunities for them to construct their own understanding of the world.
Decision-Making Skills are developed daily as children choose from various learning centers and activities. These choices aren't random – they're carefully curated to offer meaningful learning opportunities while honoring each child's interests and developmental needs.
Inner Motivation grows when children understand the "why" behind expectations. We guide children toward self-regulation through understanding and connection rather than external control, building the internal compass that will serve them throughout life.
Community Building happens naturally as children learn to navigate relationships, share ideas, and contribute to our classroom community. These daily interactions build the social intelligence that forms the foundation for all future success.
Where Learning Comes Alive
Our program creates an environment where excitement for learning is contagious. Children don't just attend school – they become part of a vibrant learning community where every day brings new possibilities for growth, discovery, and joy.

Growing Together: A Gentle Introduction to Learning
Our Toddler program creates a warm bridge between home and school, designed for toddlers and their parents to discover the joy of learning together.
A Foundation of Wonder and Connection
During these 90 minutes, toddlers explore at their own pace while staying securely connected to their parent. This gentle approach builds confidence and curiosity in a safe, nurturing environment.
Hands-On Discovery engages toddlers' natural desire to touch, explore, and create through sensory play and age-appropriate activities that develop fine motor skills.
Creative Expression comes alive through simple crafts and art experiences designed for little hands and big imaginations.
Social Foundations begin as toddlers learn to share space and experiences with peers, planting seeds for future friendships.
Circle Time introduces the rhythm of group learning through songs, stories, and activities that build listening skills.
Community Building extends to parents, who connect with other families while building a supportive network.
Our Toddler program nurtures natural curiosity while building the comfort and confidence children need for future preschool experiences.
Front Room
The first year of preschool for children ages 3 to 4 years old.

A Confident Beginning
The Front Room is where your child's independent learning journey truly begins. This carefully designed program honors the significant milestone of separation while building the foundation for lifelong learning success.
Nurturing Independence with Care
We understand that for many families, this first experience of being apart can feel overwhelming. Our passionate teachers create a warm, secure environment where children naturally develop confidence in their own abilities while forming meaningful connections with peers and adults.
Through patient guidance and understanding, we help children navigate this important transition at their own pace, celebrating each small step toward independence while maintaining the emotional safety they need to thrive.
Building Essential Life Skills
Social Intelligence develops as children learn to share, collaborate, and resolve conflicts with gentle guidance from our skilled teachers.
Self-Regulation grows through a carefully balanced mix of independent exploration and group activities that teach children to manage their emotions and make thoughtful choices.
Cognitive Development flourishes through hands-on discovery, problem-solving challenges, and creative expression that ignites curiosity and builds critical thinking skills.
Physical Confidence emerges through activities that develop both fine and gross motor skills, giving children mastery over their bodies and their environment.
A Foundation for Future Success
In the Front Room, children don't just learn preschool skills – they develop the confidence, curiosity, and social competence that will serve them throughout their educational journey and beyond. Every interaction is an opportunity to build the strong sense of self that empowers children to embrace new challenges with enthusiasm.

Advanced Learning Through Play
Our multisensory approach ignites every aspect of learning as children explore, create, and discover through meaningful hands-on experiences. This isn't just preparation for "real school" – this IS real learning, where children develop genuine understanding through active engagement with their environment.
Problem-Solving Mastery emerges as children tackle increasingly complex challenges, learning to think critically, test theories, and persist through difficulties with growing confidence.
Independence and Collaboration flourish in our carefully structured environment, where children learn when to work autonomously and when to seek support or offer help to others.
Building Academic Foundations
Language and Literacy development happens naturally through rich conversations, storytelling, and playful exploration of letters and sounds that spark excitement about reading and writing.
Mathematical Thinking grows through hands-on activities with numbers, patterns, and problem-solving that build strong conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization.
Creative Expression reaches new heights as children use increasingly sophisticated tools and techniques to communicate their ideas through art, music, and dramatic play.
Honoring Individual Growth
We recognize that every child brings unique strengths, learning styles, and developmental timelines. Our skilled teachers create differentiated experiences that challenge each child appropriately while building the confidence and resilience needed for lifelong learning success.
Kindergarten Ready and Life Ready
Back Room graduates don't just leave with academic skills – they carry with them the curiosity, confidence, and collaborative spirit that will serve them throughout their educational journey and into their future roles as thoughtful, capable leaders.
