Our curriculum focuses on the individual needs of each child, promoting social, cognitive, physical, and emotional growth in a way that aligns with their age and stage of development.

We believe every child should feel supported and engaged in their learning journey. By offering a variety of activities that stimulate curiosity and skill-building, we aim to help each child reach their full potential, preparing them for success and school readiness.

In addition to our commitment to the children, we actively encourage parental involvement in the daily operations of the center. This partnership ensures a nurturing, safe, and supportive environment where every child thrives.

Let's Go Outside and Play | Janelle Lin | TEDxGrandviewHeights


In this delightful talk, 6-year-old Janelle Lin, encourages kids just like her to spend more time outdoors, try new activities, and enjoy the beauty of nature. 

When kids today are spending exceedingly long hours in front of the television, computer, or mobile devices, it becomes crucial to promote active and outdoor play. Whether it’s walking in the park, riding a bike, or taking a hike through the woods, there’s no denying the benefits of stepping away from the screen and into the sunshine. 

 Janelle is a curious and adventurous first-grader. She finds joy in tending her garden, and loves to roller-skate, swing on the monkey bars, and explore the natural world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

24 Secrets of Daycare Teachers

We asked early childhood educators to reveal how they get our kids to eat their veggies, clean up their toys, go to sleep without a fuss and more. Here’s what we learned—and how you can steal their tricks.

"He had a great day," your kid’s daycare teacher beams. “He listened well, napped for three hours and ate all his veggies.”

Ever wonder why the child your daycare describes sounds nothing like the one you drop off and pick up every day?

There are good reasons the wildling you know at home is a model of decorum at daycare. No matter how familiar, it just isn’t home; kids are less likely to push the same boundaries. They may also hold in their angst until they see you at the end of the day—hence, the pre-dinner meltdown.

But there’s something else: Year after year, daycare professionals get up close and personal with dozens of babies, toddlers and preschoolers. This repetition lets them finesse their skills and strategies—that’s a huge advantage over parents, who get only a few kicks at the can, if that.
