Our approach to your child’s education
If your child was born in Finland, you’d find they experienced higher rates of college graduation, greater lifetime earnings, lower crime rates and increased levels of happiness. Why? Because the Finnish teaching method prioritizes student-centered, cooperative learning, where teachers are seen more as coaches rather than authoritarian figures. It’s those methods that we bring to children in Denver, promoting creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking at a time in your child’s life where learning can play the biggest role. We’re always innovating in our efforts to provide the best platform for the next generation to grow from, meaning when the evidence suggests there’s a better way to do things, your child will be the first to benefit from it.
Instilling core values from day one
Your child’s earliest years are essential to creating a successful future. Science has proven that it’s significantly easier to teach something in the pre-school age bracket than it is to retrofit it later on, which is why the values we instil from day one are key. Our approach to your child’s pre-school experience is built around individuality, exploration and play. We believe children learn fastest by failing first, so we encourage them to go out of their comfort zone, take risks and discover their limits. It’s like no pre-school you’ll ever have heard of before, which is why we deliver results you couldn’t achieve elsewhere.

Hind Lou
Wonderful daycare! The staff is loving and attentive, and the space is safe, fun, and creative. My child is always happy and thriving here! Thank you Miss Jenna and the team!
Jared Allen
My son loves this daycare! While the school is new, Miss Jenna is one of the most established French language early childhood educators in Denver, and she does a great job. The play-based learning approach here is another reason my son does so well - it gives him tons of opportunities to run around and learn through exploration, which is perfect for his energy level. Another huge plus for our family is that their schedule is much more flexible than other schools, so it actually works with my work schedule. I’m really happy with our choice and would definitely recommend this place to other parents looking for quality care, French immersion, and flexibility.
