01The program

An academic foundation built before kindergarten.

Small classrooms, a structured academic routine, and a culture of high expectations. Scholars return to the same instructors, the same schedule, and the same standards each day — the consistency early learners need before kindergarten.

Ages 2 – KindergartenUniform issued at enrollment

Structured hours

8 AM to 2 PM, Monday through Friday. A predictable daily rhythm built around circle time, learning blocks, meals and rest.

Free breakfast and lunch are served every school day. No add-on meal plan, no extra invoice.
