What makes us special?

• Since 1964 we have been offering preschool classes for children 18 months to 5 years old.
• Our well-rounded curriculum includes Music Together®, art, science, math, literacy, kindergarten enrichment and extended lunch programs.
• You will find the lowest student-to-teacher ratios on the North Shore. The result is great personal attention.
• All of our head teachers have been teaching with us for more than 17 years.
• We have social programs for parents that are simply FUN.
• We have a fully enclosed outdoor playground.
• We are a nut-free zone.
