About Us

We are committed to providing top-quality programs year-round in a stimulating and exciting environment situated on a beautiful, 55-acre farm in Doylestown, PA.  Our highly-trained team of professionals is dedicated to giving your child the benefits of a fun and stimulating program. By encouraging self-discovery, originality, and individualism, we avoid the competitive atmosphere and encourage each participant to proceed at his/her own pace. Each child's individual needs and personality are respected and nurtured. We emphasize intellectual and character development through: Cooperation, Confidence, Critical Thinking and Compassion.  These values encourage our children to be positive and contributing members of their family and their community.
