"Where children play to learn
as they learn to play"


Our program recognizes the importance of quality play in the lives of young children. Play experiences may include music, art, puzzles, blocks, indoor and outdoor recreation, dramatic play, and free play. Our curriculum is based on thematic units and strives to focus on all of the characteristics that a quality early education program should incorporate. Our staff is warm and nurturing and provides a welcoming environment for all children.

Preschool options include two, three, and five day programs beginning with children of age two. Our Children's Corner program is open from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. to provide before and after school care as well as care for your younger child. Children may begin coming to Children's Corner at three months of age. Children's Corner charges an hourly rate and advanced reservations are required.

Why not stop by and see what we have to offer, or call Darlene Castelli, director, at 342-5620 for further information! Enrollment for Fall 2009 begins February 2, 2009.
