Multi-Age Learning

Multi-age preschool/childcare is an opportunity for amazing learning! Kids develop social skills and empathy while interacting with friends of different ages. This vibrant environment sparks creativity and builds confidence, as older guide the younger ones. It's a fantastic community that nurtures every child's growth development!

Why It Matters

Children at CVP are not only lovingly cared for—they are prepared for the world ahead in the most meaningful way. Research confirms what we see every day: play, nature, and connection are essential for healthy development. Our program builds the social, emotional, and cognitive foundation children need to thrive when formal academics begin, while maintaining a small student-to-teacher ratio.

Children leave our program with:

Capable hands and curious minds
A love of learning
A strong sense of belonging in both community and the natural world

Let’s raise wholehearted children, together. Enrollment is now open for the 2026–2027 school year.
