Our Mission
We foster a love of learning and academic, physical, social, and emotional growth through hands-on experiences, outdoor exploration, English and Spanish language acquisition, and mindful practices. We encourage curiosity, creativity, and self expression in a warm and inclusive school family.
Whole Child Centered, Not Religious
At Little Buddhas Preschool, we celebrate children as wise, whole beings who naturally bring light to the world. The name 'Little Buddhas' is an endearing term, not tied to Buddhism, but rather a reflection of the wisdom and wonder children embody. Through mindfulness, yoga, meditation, social-emotional skill-building, time in nature, and meaningful communication, we nurture their growth. Abbie, a caring and experienced teacher, ensures a non-sectarian approach, viewing each child as both a student and a teacher in their own right.
