Testimonials

3/18 “The Girls” are crying -I told them it’s Saturday and they want to come to Playschool

12/20 So “my son” was just diagnosed with autism…I wanted to thank you for the early learning start you all gave him…Just wanted you to know and to thank you for you being you…I truly think you’re one of the best things that came to our family

12/17 The holiday CD is AMAZING! We watched it over and over - the kids are so proud and we are so so happy!

Philosophy

We are a Socially Connective program with a Thematic Curriculum, focused on building “Can Do” children filled with confidence in a multi-sensory, fun-filled environment. Our daily activities involve all children’s senses, emphasizing socialization and problem-solving techniques for creating strong social connections now and in the future. We strive to cultivate excited and happy “can-do” kids who enjoy coming to playschool every day.

Location

Located two blocks from an elementary school, our quiet cul-de-sac provides a safe, centrally located facility that is both easy to get to and secluded enough to be out of the way of traffic and main streets.

About our program

Our families are what makes our program unique. We become a real extended family ready to help and care for each other. We teach patience, self-care, autonomy, and self confidence thru building relationships. Children and families are always welcomed and supported.
