High-Quality Early Childhood Education Center & Preschool Programs

Our Early Childhood Education Center offers both childcare and preschool programs, providing a high-quality educational experience in a unique and engaging setting. With a curriculum designed to deliver results, we also offer an enhanced education that goes beyond the basics.

A Well-Rounded Educational Experience

Children in our program will not only participate in structured swim lessons in our indoor pool, but they will also enjoy planned activities in our full-size gym and expansive outdoor recreation facility. Additionally, we incorporate technology-based classes and hands-on science lessons to foster curiosity and critical thinking. During the summer, 3 and 4-year-olds take weekly trips to Margate Beach, while 4-year-olds enjoy field trips throughout the year to further enrich their learning.
