We believe that a strong foundation in language, social emotional learning and numeracy is key for every child’s academic development and success throughout their school-age years. Our mission is to eliminate learning gaps by providing opportunities for children to grow, learn and thrive in their early years through play and interactions with other children in a structured and safe environment. Your child will develop social, emotional, literacy, numeracy and language skills in our care that will prepare them for the future.
Through play, dance and songs your child will be introduced to letters, sounds, numbers and shapes. We will develop your child's vocabulary and linguistic abilities in English and in Spanish through story telling, singing and dancing. Research shows that bilingualism has lead to higher levels of executive functioning in young children as well as increased working memories and attention spans, abstract thinking skills, multitasking and better conflict resolution skills.

As a mother of two and a lifelong educator, I know how hard it is to find childcare you can truly trust—where children are not only cared for but genuinely nurtured and prepared for school. After over 15 years in public education, I saw firsthand the importance of early learning. That’s why I created a space where children can grow, explore, and build the strong foundation they need to thrive in school and beyond. I’m proud to serve my community and deeply committed to supporting families for years to come.
