We use The Creative Curriculum,which is a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that features exploration and discovery as a way of learning, enabling children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills.

Since 1967, we have developed a reputation for providing superior care in a healthy, stimulating environment where children between the ages of three months and six years old are encouraged to explore their interests and express themselves. After they graduate and move on to local elementary schools, our children excel in kindergarten and parents are thrilled with the skills and knowledge they have acquired at CSN.
