The school was founded in 1964 when a group of parents opened the first integrated non-sectarian non-profit preschool in Augusta.

Under the guidance of a lead teacher, our staff plans activities that relate to the developmental goals established and include experiences in art, crafts, construction with blocks and other building toys, use of manipulatory materials, games, presentation of stories, books, music and rhythm and movement. Our classes are small so that our teachers and aides may devote as much time as possible to the individual needs of each student.
