About Us
We are a licensed preschool providing a Christian-based learning environment for children ages 2 through 5. We offer a comprehensive MSDE-approved curriculum (Frogstreet/The Investigator Club) with a classroom focus on independence, socialization, and responsibility. Our teachers are certified and complete yearly training courses through the Maryland State Department of Education.
