Building Bridges.
Inspiring Minds.
Impacting Futures.
EarlystART believes in putting our minds, hearts, and souls into everything we do. That’s why since 1967 we’ve passionately pursued pathways that lead students and families to quality early learning and a lifetime of opportunities.
Because a child’s early years are the foundation for cognitive and social development, EarlystART programs are evidence-based and encourage students to explore new interests and embrace the unknown, preparing them for kindergarten and becoming lifelong learners.
Our School
EarlystART is a nurturing, stimulating, and educational space where students develop positive behaviors, a healthy sense of self, and a connectedness to caring people who support and encourage them.
EarlystART is open on a year-round schedule.

Our Students
Infants and Toddlers (ages 6 weeks to 3 years)
Our infant and toddler classrooms focus on sensory experiment and development. This is the first step in helping infants grow into curious children. Social and emotional development and individualized interactions with these students readies them for future exploration and learning.
Pre-School Students (ages 3 to 5 years)
The EarlystART Pre-School years are a time for children to grow in empathy and understanding as they learn to socialize with others, solve problems, and develop self-confidence. Students achieve positive and large gains in vocabulary knowledge, listening, and receptive language skills while bolstering their social and emotional development.
