We provide a nurturing and creative environment that fosters learning through exploration and play. Our approach includes:

Hands-on Learning
We carve pumpkins, collect and study bugs and acorns, paint with pudding, take nature walks to the Rose Garden and much more! If you're coming to Fairmont, prepare to get messy and have some fun. |

Creative Arts Focus
At Fairmont, we love to get our groove on. Children particpate in monthly dance, drama and yoga classes.* Drama and yoga are taught by two of our fabulous Fairmont parents. |

Parent Participation
Through classroom volunteering (required for parents of one and two year olds*) and other community activities, parents see first-hand how their child interacts in a learning environment with other children in addition to joining a community of parents and teachers who share similar interests and concerns. |

Small Class Sizes and Teacher to Child Ratios
