We are a ministry of the Irvine Presbyterian Church, founded in 1985 in memory of Jennifer Lynn Hart. (1978 - 1984).

We believe that by providing a balance of meaningful learning materials, along with positive interactions with children and teachers, we can encourage the intellectual development of children. We promote these interactions through providing an emotionally enriched environment where children feel comfortableto grow and mature.

We encourage self-esteem, social skills and creativity by fostering trust and autonomy, while providing a balance of Christian values and pre-academic concepts. Our children learn through play in an environment purposefully designed for learning, discovering and social cooperation.
