Named after the multifaceted Leonardo Da Vinci, our school embraces the Da Vinci within each child.
We nurture happy future global leaders, engaged in their community while developing their love for the process of learning.
Our program offers a customized approach where each and every child develops his/her talents and full potential in a positive, loving, fun, safe and supportive environment.
Our curriculum is designed to enable each student to become independent participants and learners in the classroom. Classrooms are designed with a variety of learning centers, these areas include fine motor and sensorial, language, math, science, and imaginative play as well as a quiet corner and an art area.
In our Junior pre-K, our Pre-K and our Kindergarten programs, teachers focus on developing the social, emotional and physical cognition of the children. Children learn more effectively when they are nurtured in secure settings that prioritize observational and collective learning and engaged periods of guided play.
Specials are offered on a daily (art, outdoor) and weekly (language, cooking, library, field trip, music & movement, STEAM) basis.
Our classrooms have a student-to-faculty ratio of 7:1 with a maximum of 13 children per class.

Play-Based Preschool
Our play-based preschool provides a meaningful context for children to learn concepts and skills in a fun environment. Play-based programs promote the deepest kind of learning by encouraging kids to become self-directed learners who explore, develop curiosity, and solve problems in a fun and engaging environment.
Through developmentally appropriate activities, students are encouraged to learn at their own pace, build their early math and literacy competency, develop gross and fine motor skills, social-emotional learning, and world awareness.
Students learn daily French or Spanish language and culture.
Weekly specials engage the children’s creativity and multi-sensory learning through arts, music and movement, nature & outdoor education, and STEAM.
Regular field trips allow students to connect their learning to the community around them.
