Open House has been providing nurturing and lively early childhood programs to children between 2 and 5 years old for nearly 50 years. Our school, which has six classrooms and a sunny enclosed rooftop playground, was specifically designed with young children in mind. In our front waiting area we keep a small inviting “zoo,” and our roof play area has lots of room for gardening and outdoor play equipment. We offer flexible scheduling, with extended days so families may create programs that suit best their needs.

At Open House, we believe in the central importance of a child’s social and emotional growth. We provide many rich, play-based experiences in art, music, math, natural science, and literature. Through these, children gain cognitive skills and a confident social identity. Our developmentally sensitive and interactive approach allows children to be both self-directed and adult supported. We believe it is through kindness, honesty, and effort that children reach their full potential for themselves and as members of the community.
