vision

"Play is the work of the child."

-Maria Montessori

 

Our Montessori-inspired program focuses not only on school-readiness, but on developing the whole child. We strive to foster a love of learning and teach practical life skills. Above all, we pray our children may experience a lifetime of faith from the small seeds planted in our care.
