Childspace was founded by teachers with a vision.

We wanted to create a “space” attuned to the true needs of a child’s learning while at the same time providing quality jobs for teachers. Still dedicated to these quality anchors, Childspace has thrived since 1988!

Our approach is nurturing.

We use carefully considered routines to build children’s sense of security and lively, open classrooms to grow capable, creative thinkers. Parents can be comfortable addressing their own professional or educational goals, knowing that their children are receiving a caring and stimulating school experience.
