Inclusive Licensed Group Child Care for children ages 30 months to five years. 
 

Every child deserves a safe, welcoming space to learn and grow — regardless of background, ability, or identity. Our program is committed to inclusion ensuring that all families feel supported and valued.

Based on a philosophy of “learning through play” our classrooms provide unique and rich experiences for all children.  Our spacious outdoor playground and nearby beach offer a wonderful opportunity to explore nature just outside our door.

Fully qualified Early Childhood Educators create and provide a variety of activities designed to promote social, emotional, cognitive, physical and creative growth.

We look forward to sharing this exciting new learning experience with your child.
