Our Mission

 

Our mission is to provide an environment for children that will give parents the peace of mind to go to work knowing that their child is in a safe, nurturing, and enriching setting. Through qualified teachers, children will be encouraged to explore the wonders of learning, building self-confidence while increasing their knowledge and skill.  Parents will be encouraged to participate in the learning process as well extracurricular activities which will strengthen and reinforce the education of the students.

 

School Philosophy

​

Our Philosophy has always been rooted in the promotion of high academic standards in a warm and nurturing environment. One which encourages each child to strive for his or her own full potential. Our expectation is that each child grow and learn in an environment that respects differences and instills an acceptance of each child as an individual, whose uniqueness enriches us all.
