About Us

Quality Educators for the Earliest Learners

We provide child care and early education to children from 6 weeks - 5 years of age.  Our educators are creative, nurturing, and dedicated to providing superior care while helping prepare your child for Kindergarten. We partner with Illinois Action for Children to offer Preschool for All and Prevention Initiative classrooms, and Start Early to offer Early Head Start and Head Start classrooms.  


Child-Centered Curriculum

We believe every child is unique and will grow and develop at his or her own pace.  Our teachers look for each child's strengths and encourage them to continue striving for new heights as they learn through songs, stories, teacher-led activities, and child-directed play.

Our Mission

To celebrate the uniqueness of the individual and promote the actualization of the child's potential, we strive to provide a nurturing, stimulating environment that will enable each child to live a satisfying and productive life.
