3 Unique Programs for Every Age and Stage…

  • K-Prep/Young 5’s
  • Before and After School: K through 5th Grade
  • Explorer Camps: 1st through 5th Grade
  • Infant (6 wks. to 12 mos.) through K-Prep/Preschool 4 – 5 yrs. care and education are available at our main building.

Opened in 2012

Two locations, one partner in care and education

Our main building opened in July 2012.  In order to better serve the families in the Cascade community, we opened our additional Young 5’s and School Age building in 2014 to meet growing demand.  We pride ourselves on partnering with families as their children start with us as infants and toddlers, complete our K-Prep Preschool programs, and eventually become our school age Explorers.

Congratulations on Winning the 2018 Golden Apple Award
