For Making A Critical Difference For Young Children And Families In Rhode Island
Degreed Teachers Create A Family-Oriented Atmosphere
A passionate team of highly qualified educators gets to know your child as an individual and fosters a loving space for your family. When children feel safe and welcome, they build confidence and blossom into happy, active learners.
Parent Involvement Helps Children Thrive
Studies show that when parents participate, their children soar academically, and we welcome and support you with open communication. Get resources from the parenting library, have your say as part of the committee, and receive daily updates via the Brightwheel™ app.
Daily Active Play To Build Healthy Bodies
Your child learns to run, jump, balance, and climb in outdoor and indoor play spaces designed to the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale® (ECERS). Lots of fun, active play supports and develops their growing physical confidence.
Spotless & Sparkling For Your Child’s Safety
Exciting Field Trips Bring Ideas To Life
Outdoor adventures like fruit picking and on-site visits from community heroes and cute critters are a chance for your child to discover new experiences. Popular field trips to the Children Museum and fire station will resume when it’s safe.
Security Measures Offer Peace Of Mind
Restricted-access controls mean anyone arriving on-site must be buzzed in. Tall fences protect kids from the street. Security cameras keep watch outside and inside, and all teachers hold CPR certifications, so you know your child is safe.
