Our team is very diverse, coming from several different countries, and having degrees and qualifications in varied concentrations related to children\u2019s health, development, and education. We put a lot of focus on children feeling safe and happy, being able to express their thoughts and interests, learning independence, and gaining tons of self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning before going off to school. Our house values equality, respect, and communication. We enroll children from age 3 (must be fully toilet trained) through preschool (age 6), and have space for 42 children in total. Children are divided into groups during work time, based on the year of birth, and each group has one or two key teachers, depending on the size of the group. We want to work together with parents to hear your thoughts, answer your questions, and earn your trust, so that together we can give your child the absolute best kindergarten experience possible! Give us a call if you want to know more.
