Over 50 years of experience is reflected in a thoughtful curriculum focused on cognitive growth and enrichment programming—weekly classes in sports, yoga, dance, and music complement daily care. Organic, fresh meals prepared by in-house chefs, along with diapers, wipes, bibs, and blankets, are included in tuition, and student-to-teacher ratios are kept below state requirements.
