A holistic approach to your child’s development

Learning through play

Using a nationally-recognized, research-based curriculum, Teachable Moments makes learning fun! When children play in meaningful ways, they learn about themselves, other people, and the world around them.

Keeping safety at the forefront

Teachable Moments prides itself on safety, with cameras throughout classrooms and play spaces, a secured building, staff trained and certified in CPR, first aid and medication administration, an emergency preparedness plan, and on-site emergency medical equipment.

Encouraging your child’s progress

Teachers continually assess the development of every child in all areas of the curriculum and share information with families.

A note from our Director

Many still consider early childhood education to be inessential or simply classify it as a “babysitting” service. I believe whole-heartedly that investing in early childhood education could provide solutions to a lot of social and economical problems in our city. I simply want kids to experience more than matching cubbies and the smell of a bleach-water solution, which is typically what most families receive from child care centers that look and feel the same: sterile, cold and uninviting. Until Now.

Here at Teachable Moments Preschool, we are passionate about quality learning, not quantity. We obsess about the small details in teaching, not test scores. We dream about real connection, and we’re inspired by BIG imaginations. We see the need to go where other preschools may have been hesitant or unwilling to explore.

We are extremely thrilled to deliver early childhood education in a trustworthy environment with an encouraging voice. Our BIG vision is to be a leading diversified education and hospitality company, positively changing the community for the benefit of young children. In order for us to see that come to fruition, we invite you to ask questions, challenge us and explore with us. We want you and your children to feel as if you are home.
