Protecting Young Eyes: Defending Kids from Online Danger
“We have found 'Protecting Young Eyes' to be one of the best programs for parents that clearly spells out the issues and dangers that children are facing today in regard to the use of technology. It gives parents the tools and resources needed to guide their children.”

Transitional Kindergarten
Recognizing the importance of giving children the gift of time, we offer a Transitional Kindergarten program for children who turn five by December 1st. This developmental program is perfect for children that need more time to develop their social/emotional or academic growth.
Our Transitional Kindergarten staff is dedicated to fully preparing our TK students for our rigorous Kindergarten program.
