At our school, we believe that healthy lifestyle management is essential for children's ongoing confidence, self-worth, and well-being. That's why we offer expert guidance from Dr. Tamara Jefferson, a naturopathic doctor of medicine, who helps families with healthy lifestyle management.

Health & Safety Measures

We are committed to safeguarding the health of every child in our care. To this end, we have implemented a range of measures, including the use of the Molekule Air Purifier, which is used in medical settings to cleanse the air of harmful germs. We have also partnered with world-class cleaning experts to ensure that every area of our school is disinfected, sanitized, and deep-cleaned weekly.

Additionally, we offer a healthy and child-friendly menu that supports kids and our planet. Our delicious vegetarian menu includes breakfast, lunch, and two snacks a day, at no extra cost. We are committed to avoiding toxic chemicals in our food, reducing pollution, and building children's immune systems.

Core Values

Our heart-centered core values guide everything we do. We believe that today's joyful tots are tomorrow's leaders, and we strive to foster outstanding leadership skills in every child. We nurture children's curiosity, encourage lifelong learning, promote healthy habits, and support self-knowledge and self-love.

Our outdoor classroom and gardens provide a unique and engaging learning environment where children can explore new ideas, discover daily wonders, and build strength and confidence. We believe that a clean space is a safe space, and we take great care to ensure that our learning environment is safe, secure, and well-maintained.

Graduation and Reading Programs

We celebrate children's accomplishments and milestones with graduation ceremonies and other special events. We believe that reading is the basis for all learning, and we strive to foster a lifelong love of reading in every child. From infancy, reading is at the center of our classroom, presented through talking, laughing, and play.

Our S.T.R.E.A.M. program allows children to explore science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and math in a fun and engaging way, preparing them for kindergarten and beyond.

Thank you for considering our school for your child's care and education. We would be delighted to answer any questions you may have.
