Our Facility

Our classes meet in two large bright climate controlled classrooms on the main floor of the Pleasantville Presbyterian Church's education wing.  Each class is supplied with developmentally appropriate toys that are rotated regularly.

In addition, the classes have access to a large indoor room for games and gross motor activities.

Our large playground lends itself to creative play as it has several play houses, and space for running, jumping, and group games. 
​ It is fenced in and contains a shredded rubber surface for safety.
