Welcome To Our Classrooms!

Outstanding Owls - 2 Year Old Class

Our Outstanding Owls class has a hoot of a time learning the basics like colors and shapes. With the wise leadership of our teacher, Ms. Jess, our youngest learners fly through their day, learning to explore their environment safely. It takes a big heart and quick feet to keep up with these little explorers! Their day consists of outdoor play, story-telling, hands-on learning, and music with movement.

Little Ladybugs - 3 Year Old Class

Our Little Ladybugs classroom has great time learning through exploration. With the caring leadership of Ms. Candy and Ms. Kayla, our Ladybugs spend their day working with fine motor activities, name recognition, and sharing among many other age appropriate skills.

Busy Bees - 3 Year Old Class

Our Busy Bees are always buzzing around their classroom! Our Busy Bees teacher, Ms. Rebecca, makes each day an exciting new adventure in learning and play. Content-rich centers which follow the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum provide the perfect environment to grow socially and academically. This safe environment helps develop reading and math readiness along with fine and gross movement.

Friendly Flamingos - PreK Class

Our Friendly Flamingos are lead by Ms. Amanda E., and their room is a tropical paradise of learning! They follow the Learning Without Tears curriculum for literacy and math. Science and social studies are infused throughout the daily lessons. We encourage exploratory play, as well.

Fantastic Fish - PreK Class

Our Fantastic Fish have a swimmingly good time in their classroom. Ms. Charity leads her school of fish through the Learning Without Tears curriculum as well as a character education curriculum. She works collaboratively with our other PreK classrooms to create a community of PreK learning.
