Common Questions
What ages do you serve?
We care for children ages 6 weeks to 4 years old.
How is learning structured?
Our approach emphasizes play-based learning through child-led experiences that nurture curiosity, independence, and development. While we implement the Frog Street curriculum during designated times to support learning goals and developmental milestones, activities are guided by children’s interests and choices. This balance allows us to provide structured learning opportunities while honoring each child’s natural curiosity and individual pace of growth.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes, we are pleased to offer special discounts for law enforcement officers, as well as a sibling discount for families with more than one child enrolled.
We are open Monday through Friday, from 6:45 AM to 5:30 PM to accommodate working parents.
Our infant program operates from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. because we believe infants thrive best with consistency, routine, and familiar caregivers. Limiting the hours helps ensure that infants are not passed between multiple teachers throughout the day, allowing them to build strong, secure attachments and feel safe and supported. This approach promotes emotional well-being, stability, and healthy development during these crucial early stages.
