Our Preschool and Daycare Programs

• Infant Daycare: A gentle, nurturing start for babies, with calming routines and sensory play that help them feel secure and ready to discover the world.
• Toddler Daycare: Curious toddlers explore through play, practice self-help skills like handwashing and cleaning up, and make their very first friends.
• Early Learners: Our early childhood learners enjoy learning essential skills such as communication, language, and creative skills, as well as ways to lead a healthy lifestyle.
• Preschool: Stories, songs, and hands-on play build early language, math, and science skills while teaching children to share, take turns, and care for others.
• Pre-Kindergarten: Play-based learning and Kind Child lessons help children build confidence and social skills to step into kindergarten with a smile.
• School-Age Program: A fun, supervised place for school-age children to relax, play, and connect with friends on out-of-school days and school breaks.
• Summer Camp: Camp-style summer days full of active, creative play that keeps children curious, kind, and busy while school is out.

Why Parents Choose Our Preschool and Daycare Center

Laura Hlushko, our School Director, has been with our private preschool since we opened in 2009. In addition, our teachers collectively have more than 75 years of experience in both preschool and daycare settings. We all love what we do and have a passion for working in childcare!

As a member of the Surprise community, we think it’s important to be involved in community events. We are a proud sponsor of Surprise Parks and Rec and participate in the Surprise Party every December. We sponsor a day at the local ballpark for spring training, where families come out and have a great time enjoying baseball and ballpark food. We also have fun family events throughout the year including Parent’s Night Out, Trunk or Treat, science fair, and school picnics.

Our playground is an amazing place for young children to explore and play. The children especially love our covered play areas, basketball court, and our splash pad. We also have a Smart Board, which allows us to engage our preschool students in a variety of educational games in the morning and afternoon.

Our inviting, age-appropriate classrooms are designed with little ones in mind. We create safe, stimulating spaces where children feel comfortable exploring and growing. And above all else, we are committed to providing a nurturing space where every child feels safe, seen, and celebrated each and every day.

Ascend Curriculum

Thanks to the flexibility of our Ascend Curriculum, we take an individualized approach to early childhood education and encourage every child to progress towards age-appropriate goals at their natural pace. New skills are introduced sequentially in 9 different learning domains each month and activities are modified to fit the interests and current skill level of each child. This skill-based approach to early education ensures that every child feels engaged, supported, and challenged and makes learning fun!

Kind Child Program

Another significant part of our curriculum is our Kind Child program. Kind Child is a year-long program for children ages two and older that helps our teachers nurture and strengthen every child’s social and emotional skills. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school as well. We are confident that Kind Child will continue to strengthen the culture of our entire preschool center by elevating every child’s feelings of happiness, improving their well-being, and enriching their friendships.
