Dear Families,

Our schools are open. We will continue to observe any mandates required by local health departments. 
Thank you for all your support. 

Our Mission and Curriculum

Our HighScope research-based curriculum reflects the standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAYEC) with:

Low teacher-child ratios
Carefully planned classroom environments
Age-appropriate programs for each group
Well-trained, nurturing teachers
