At Sugar Plum Tree Preschool Inc., you’ll notice a difference in the surroundings as well as in our approach to child care and development. The goal is to create a balanced atmosphere with inviting and stimulating surroundings. We do this for each child by promoting individual learning, engaging in group play, and providing plenty of individual attention. We have a spacious gymnasium as well as an outdoor play area to enhance their gross motor skills. Also, breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack is provided and catered fresh daily from Food2You. Gluten-free and Vegetarian options are available if necessary. Gym Stars is provided every Tuesday morning at an additional cost where the children are given the opportunity to participate in entry-level gymnastics. This program will not only improve your child’s physical skills but their social and cognitive development skills as well.
