We proudly use Montessori materials made of GREEN lumber that are certified as free of heavy metals and serve organic, whole food meals and snacks that are fresh and nutritious. We believe fresh air is food for growing minds and ‘go out’ daily in all seasons. Our outdoor spaces, NWF Certified Wildlife Habitats, offer shelter to encourage comfortable outdoor experiences and movement throughout the rain of winter and the heat of summer.
