Overview

Mission

We provide preschool education for 2-6 year olds and limited after-school care for children up to 8 years of age. Student enrollment averages anywhere from 10 to 20 children. Our income is derived from tuition, donations, grants and fundraising activities. We are a volunteer-run organization where parents comprise the board and administer all aspects of the preschool--e.g. Enrollment, publicity, fundraising, and staffing.
