Let Us Introduce Ourselves

The Octopus Garden is a privately owned preschool that was created in 1994 with the intent to provide quality, full-time child care to our community. The school is owned and managed by professionals with degrees and experience in early childhood education, child development and business.

Our Philosophy

The most important aspect of our early childhood program is the child. We wish to enrich families by providing a home away from home, family away from family, and a friend to young children. Our primary purpose is to promote each child’s human potential by developing creativity, autonomy, openness, problem-solving abilities and integrity.

Programs

Our programs provide childcare from ages 6 weeks to 5 years old.

  • The Octopus Garden Preschool provides for the education of the whole child – physically, socially, emotionally, and developmentally.
  • Curriculum is organized around each child’s developmental needs, interests, and learning styles.
  • All programs recognize that each child follows a unique pattern of development and that young children learn best through first hand experiences with people and materials.
  • Our programs emphasize the process of learning rather than focusing on finished products.
  • Caring teachers, who believe in every child’s potential to succeed.
  • Teachers trained and experienced in child development, and more than capable to create environments that promote the full development of each individual.
  • Low student to teacher ratios.
