Preschool and Pre-K Programs

Our Montessori-inspired Preschool is where children thrive through exploration, play, and intentional teaching with emphasis on STEAM, language, and literacy. We focus on whole child development, while nurturing social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. With a low student-to-teacher ratio and a warm, inclusive community, we empower children to become confident learners and kind friends.

Proud Parent

I have had two children graduate from Playgarden. They both became confident and independent children with a great love for learning. The teachers at Playgarden are unparalleled, teaching early literacy skills and science alongside all of the social-emotional skills early learners need. I have yet to come across a school environment that is as purposeful and communicative.
