About Us
 
At the Community School we believe
that Learning should be a fun and satisfying
experience for every child!
 
 We are dedicated to providing the highest quality childcare
and education for children in their important early learning years. 
Our Teachers are degreed and experienced specifically in the
field of Early Childhood. We have an exceptionally low staff
 turnover and our Teacher to Child ratio is well above the
State requirements. We have been providing quality care
and education for young children since 1967!
 
Teachers are sensitive to each
child's learning style and abilities.
 
We work together with families to help children
acquire the skills, knowledge and confidence they will need to
do well in school and throughout life.

WE ARE PROUD TO CELEBRATE 
 THE YOUNG CHILD!
 
Children are life's most precious gift. Every child deserves to have adults who are delighted by them, who mentor them, who commit to learning about and using appropriate Early Childhood practices and who advocate for their rights.
 
"Every parent, every grandparent, every teacher, preacher, leader and citizen must coomit to save our children. If our children thrive, the nation thrives. If our children fail, America fails with them. Together we can save our children."
