Why us?
Why us?
We offer children a place to call their own. A play-school that is led by their interests and observations of their world... AND SO MUCH MORE!
Flexibility

Choose what schedule fits your child and your families' needs. Want to have a playdate for your child for socialization, go shopping, grab lunch with a friend or have a dinner date with your significant other? Use our drop in care option.
Location

In the hustle and bustle of commutes, our easy access - two lights down from the I-580 Dougherty Road/Hopyard Road exit, is a game changer. Every minute counts!
Safe & Clean
Safe & Clean
Safety is our #1 priority and we take it seriously. Every effort is made to ensure a safe and clean environment. As cleanliness plays a direct role in the health of our children, professional cleaners clean to a hospital grade every two weeks/daily as needed.

Over 24 years (and counting!) of experience in the Early Childhood Education and Development (ECE/ECD) fields within a variety of roles. Whether it's Teaching, Administrative, Conflict Managing or Cooking ... it's all important work! We take pride in our fully vetted, educated, fingerprinted, background checked with TRUSTLINE, vaccinated qualified staff. Ratio = 1:4 Education and Trainings are ongoing and we believe in being lifelong learners.
Fostering an enviroment where we're culturally mindful. Children gain knowledge by exposure of us speaking in Spanish, Hindi and/or Punjabi. Respectfully, learning about ourselves and one another authentically helps to shape the citizens of tomorrow.
Communication
Communication
There's no second guessing here. From the time your child arrives, to the time your child is back in your care, you get a screenshot of their time spent with us. We're available throughout the day via phone, text or email. We love sharing photos of your child.
Activities Galore
Activities Galore
Allowing children to have large open blocks of play (offering a variety of materials and experiences) is what they need in these formative years.
In addition to all of the in-house play, activities (such as cooking, dancing, art, gardening and more!) we do weekly trips to Don Biddle Community Park, offer Summer swim lesson transportation/supervision, Winter Holiday Lights Sightseeing, Halloween Trick or Treating and, with the support of our parent volunteers, also plan trips to the zoo!
Support
Support
Have a question around the growth and development of your child? If we don't have the answer, we'll guide you to who does. We work very closely within our community, resource and referral agencies, find family events and other play opportunities to strengthen bonds. We're definitely a village!

Social Emotional Learning is just as important as Academic Learning.
Social Emotional Learning is just as important as Academic Learning.
Young children with responsive caregivers are likely to thrive, whereas young children who experience emotionally unavailable environments are more likely to experience negative impacts on their cognitive, social, language, and emotional development.
