Research has repeatedly shown that a high-quality preschool experience stimulates brain development and promotes social, cognitive, and physical gains in young children.  The quality of the experience that a child has in the first 5 years of life lays the foundation for the kind of adult that child becomes.  Our programs, which are based on developmental stages of children rich in hands-on, individualized experiences and are guided by caring, specially trained teachers, create a high-quality preschool environment.  Knowing that a child’s family is the primary source of nurturing and support, we partner with families, particularly working and low-income families, to provide access to quality resources to help them develop and sustain a stable and nurturing environment.
