Each room offer a warm, safe and nurturing environment with an indoor/outdoor play area, sandbox, and colorful corners to explore.
It is here that we will help guide you and your child during their early years, working together to create your “Path To Preschool”.

Additionally, activity centers + outdoor play are based on observations of each child and are planned to provide a daily balance of the following: indoor/outdoor, active/quiet, individual/small group, gross motor/fine motor, child initiated/teacher initiated.

Little Knights Schedule
The pace and flow of the day for Little Knights is based on the individual needs of each child, in each class. We understand that each child has their own schedule for sleep, eating, and diaper changes, and that they are all at different developmental stages. We have designed a schedule that attends to the caring needs of each child. View details of daily schedule here.
