Top Early Childhood Education Care and curriculums

Our goal is to provide children the key experiences needed to live the life that is inside of them. Children are guided to treat the environment as if it were their home. They are free to choose activities that build their independence, increase their social agency, and nourish their innate desire to learn, love, and collaborate.​

Our vision is to create a tight-knit community that  prides itself on supporting the whole child and their family. NGLA has proven itself to be a resilient school built on strong foundations and a strong focus on community support and engagement. We believe in partnering with families and together we are committed to our mission of equipping children to live their best lives through education.​

Our guides are highly trained and experienced in early childhood education. They are passionate about working with young children and creating a positive and engaging learning environment.
