Preschoolers love to experience, discover, and learn how to take on their world.  In the Dragonfly classroom our teachers are active facilitators in the process of learning and growing. 

FingerpaintingOur classroom environment is designed to address the interests of children ages 30 months to 5 years and to meet their developmental needs.  Our "hands-on" curriculum allows each child to explore the world at his or her own pace in a safe and nurturing environment.

Our belief is that the family is an essential part of the child's success and as such we value their input and ideas.

Little builders


Children at this age are developing their ability to express themselves as friends, artists, and explorers.

We are here to help them on this journey.
