Where Kids Can't Wait to Tell You About Their Day

Ask our parents what pickup is like. A lot of days, their kids aren't ready to leave.

Here, your child does yoga to calm their body and mind, learns to sign "thank you" in ASL, counts in Spanish, digs in the garden, and runs their own lemonade stand while the neighborhood comes out to buy a cup. We take up to 4 field trips during the school year and 2 in the summer, to places like the farm and the animal shelter. Every night, they come home with something new to tell you.

​

For 21 years, we've known every child by name and treated them like our own. You'll get notes from us every day, so you never have to wonder how their day went.

​

Come meet us. Once you walk in, you'll feel it.
