Programs

Our play-based programs provide longer class times to foster independence in a calm and nurturing atmosphere where students can grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Bumble Bees: 2½-Year-Old Program

  • Mondays and Wednesdays, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
  • $2,150 yearly tuition, broken into ten equal payments of $215
  • 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio

This is a wonderful introduction to school for your child. The loving and nuturing staff create an environment where these little ones feel safe and make a successful transition toward more independence.

Fireflies: 3- and 4-Year-Old Program

  • Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.
  • $3,100 yearly tuition, broken into ten equal payments of $310
  • 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio

To ease students into the year, we begin with a shorter day (9:15-12:15). In mid-October, we add a lunch hour, and we maintain a 4 hour school day throughout the rest of the year.

Grasshoppers: 4- and 5-Year-Old Program

  • Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 9:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.
  • $3,700 yearly tuition, broken into ten equal payments of $370
  • 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio

By providing students 4-hour classes (12 hours per week), students are prepared for kindergarten in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. There is plenty of time for many different activities and experiences as well as lots of play.

Sharing lunch together prepares students for the independence required for a successful transition to kindergarten.
