A small, family run early learning centre for infants through twelve year olds, in the desert since 2018. The same teachers every morning, small groups on purpose, and a door that is always open to you.
We keep groups deliberately small and our teachers for years, because the person who greets your child in the morning matters more than any curriculum on the wall.
Since 2018 we have looked after children from six weeks old through to twelve years, across four small rooms, with the same teachers year after year.
One centre. Every stage. No starting over.
Children move along this path with us, from the baby room to after school, without ever starting over somewhere new.
Feeding, sleeping and settling on your baby’s own rhythm, written down every day so you are never guessing.
Language, movement and the first taste of routine, with plenty of shaded outdoor time.
Letters and numbers, but mostly asking questions, taking turns and finishing what you start.
Before and after school, plus full days when school is out. Homework first, then the yard.
Secure entry, signed handovers and a standing invitation to drop in unannounced.
We pay and schedule so our teachers stay, because attachment cannot be timetabled.
Photos and notes during the day, then a real conversation at pickup.
Mornings and late afternoons belong outdoors, with shade and water built in.
Quiet tables, soft start, handover to the room teacher.
Songs, stories and the day’s focus, in small groups.
Shaded yard while the morning is still cool.
A proper meal, then nap or quiet time.
Art, blocks, books or back out to the yard.
How the day really went, in person.
Outdoor time happens early and late, never in the worst of the afternoon. The yard is shaded, the water is close, and going outside is the default rather than the reward.
Play is scheduled around the heat, not squeezed in regardless of it.
Bottles come out with us and refills are part of the routine.
Hats and shade become a habit the children carry home.
Twenty minutes on an ordinary morning. Bring your child if you can.
Sit in with the teachers your child would actually be with, and ask anything.
Short visits, then short days, then the full schedule. Your child sets the pace.
Six weeks through twelve years. Infants, toddlers, preschool and pre-K run as full day programmes, and school age is before and after care plus full days on school holidays.
Please do. We would rather you saw a normal morning than a tidied up one. Use the tour form and we will find a time that suits your schedule.
Part time and set day schedules are available in some rooms depending on current enrolment. Ask about the room your child would be joining and we will tell you what is genuinely open.
We build up gradually. Short visits with you present, then short days, then the full schedule. How fast depends entirely on your child.
Monday to Friday, 6:30am to 6:00pm. If your work pattern falls outside that, talk to us rather than assuming the answer is no.
Not a staged open day. Come mid morning, while the rooms are busy, and meet the people who would be with your child.
