Meet The Owner

As the proud owner and founder of our preschool since 1990, I bring over 30 years of dedication and numerous certifications in early childhood education. Married for 25 years with two sons and a grandchild, family is at the core of everything I do. Therefore, every child here is embraced as part of my extended family, receiving not only quality education but also love and support.

Our Philosophy Statement

We believe authentic and meaningful experiences are essential in helping children develop lifelong skills and understanding. Through play-based activities, children are engaged in learning, fostering their social and cognitive abilities. Our hands-on approach allows children to explore their interests and grow as self-motivated, lifelong learners.

Creative Preschool Education

Our program features creative pre-K lesson plans based on the High Scope curriculum, designed to promote active learning. We believe that children thrive in an engaging environment, where they can explore and experiment through hands-on learning activities. Our age-appropriate equipment is carefully selected to encourage social, cognitive, and motor development.

We offer family-style meals, creating a communal atmosphere that fosters social interaction and healthy eating habits.
