Established in 2022 with a vision that high quality early childhood education is within reach for every child, family and community, our mission is to ensure that: each child reaches their full potential; parents are free to do their best work with peace of mind because their children are safe, loved and thriving; and early childhood educators are respected and valued for the critical role they are playing in the development and learning of young children.

We are a privately owned business established with the belief that private companies have a responsibility to be a force for good.  We believe that the growth of our company must be in partnership with the children and families we serve, the early childhood educators and staff we employ, and the companies and public agencies with whom we partner.  Here’s more on our values and beliefs and how our existence is dedicated to the experiences children, families and our team have in our programs each and every day. 

Our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is core to our character as an early childhood education company. We are strengthened because of diversity of thought, culture, traditions, language, experiences, spiritual practices, and religion.  It is evident in our position descriptions, our hiring practices, our salaries and benefits, in the aesthetics, equipment, and materials at our centers, our curriculum and assessment practices, and in the experience our employees, children, and families have as they see themselves in our organization.  Here’s more on our commitments to culture, our team, and the children and families we serve.
