MISSION - To prepare children with essential life skills and characteristics necessary to thrive in the 21st century

What makes the ELM program unique?


The ELM program honors the development of the whole child; intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially.  Cognitive development, brain-based principles, and personal leadership skills are at the core of ELM's educational program. ELM is one of few official Leader in Me preschool/Kindergarten programs in the nation.  Strengths are discovered, nurtured and developed through the use of hands-on tools, pretend play, sensory experiences, art studio, block studio, movement, yoga, and Kindermusik. Individualized instruction is made possible by the low teacher to student ratio of 1:7.
