The center has four spacious classrooms and a large indoor gym outfitted with a 20-foot trampoline, uneven and parallel bars, balance beams and a sprung floor. Beyond preschool it offers flexible 2-, 3-, and 5-day Half-Day, Academic-Day and Extended-Day schedules for 2s through Pre-K, plus enrichment classes, open play, camps and birthday parties for children from 2 months to 12 years, with rolling registration.
