A Little Bit About Us

Our philosophy is to create an educational environment that is caring and encourages development of the potential in each child. We enrich children of all ages, remembering that they are naturally curious explorers. We remember that each child has their own ‘best’ way to learn and grow.

Children’s social, emotional, mental and physical needs must be met. Individuality is encouraged.

Every child is helped to explore, discover and learn through arts and crafts, music, science experiments, life skills, exploratory and goal oriented play, drama and the encouragement of questions. We use Creative Curriculum.

Mrs. Darlene Huston, the owner, has her B.A. in Early Childhood Education. She is a mother and state certified Teacher. She has over 10 years experience teaching children of various ages.
