Parents will also receive updates about their child’s day via our communication app Lillio. It’s also a great way to stay in contact with your child’s teacher.

Our classrooms are a place to explore, play and reach developmental milestones.  We set out engaging toys that encourage problem solving, eye and hand coordination, fine motor skills and curiosity. You will rarely see a toy with batteries or flashing lights.  Instead we value toys that are open ended and encourage the child to play. We also have a plethora of board books available and laps ready to read a good book.

And of course, the most special part of our classrooms is our amazing teacher’s that give your kiddo all the cuddles and attention they need.  They are truly super heroes.
