Nature-Inspired Learning In An Outdoor Classroom

A natural playground and access to nature trails around the school provide ample opportunities to help babies learn through their senses outside during their daily care. They go out in buggies or strollers to see, smell, and feel the outdoor environment.

Baby Sign Language Empowers Expression

Teachers help babies communicate through the use of sign language while utilizing the correct vocabulary for each word at the same time.

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

Everyone is so kind and professional when I interact...

I just wanted to say a quick thank you so very much for all that you do. Everyone is so kind and professional when I interact with the school during drop-offs/pick-ups. He loves his class and it is so neat to see what he learns when he's at school. He actually cleans up after himself at the house now! Thank you for braving it out there in this new covid world.

She has made so much progress with her teachers at FCD...

We enrolled our daughter at FCD for Kindergarten because we needed an in-person option for this year. We *could not* be more pleased with her experience. She has made so much progress with her teachers at FCD, who have shown so much care and support during this difficult year. They have been communicative and caring and all the staff showed they took the kids' safety seriously.

Your place has a great impact on his growth...

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL for your school. We really are so happy we could send him to your school after sending him to other daycares. Your place has a great impact on his growth and independence. We plan to stay until he goes to "real school". Thank you for working hard to provide a safe, loving, and happy environment for kids - it truly is priceless. <3

Our son loves his teachers and we can focus on our work...

We toured several centers before settling on FCD. It honestly adds about 30 minutes to our daily commute, but we kept searching and couldn’t find anything that compared in safety and staff quality. We are incredibly happy with our decision. Our son loves his teachers and we can focus on our work during the day, knowing that he is in the very best hands.

They follow a great curriculum and have so many awesome activities for the little ones. They even share out detailed progress reports and have parent-teacher conferences. Enrolling your child at this school is a great opportunity!

We couldn’t be more pleased with the education...

Our daughter is in one of the primary classrooms and we couldn’t be more pleased with the education she is receiving at such a young age. We love seeing her independently carryover and initiate Montessori-based activities at home. FCD offers a warm, welcoming and safe environment and it is evident that the staff truly cares for the children.

It has been a gratifying and amazing experience...

It has been a gratifying and amazing experience for both my girls and for us. The teachers are so caring and when your kids spend time at school, you want to be able to trust the people that are caring for them. I cannot say enough positive things about the school and the staff. My children are more well rounded, communicative, and kinder because of their experience at FCD.

They invest a lot of time with our children as a group...

My husband and I️ are very pleased with the school. They invest a lot of time with our children as a group and individually. Our two year old son loves his teacher so much he talks about her all the time. They have demonstrated to us that they are organized and care very much for children. They do nature walks, community outreach and help the children learn through play.
