The Garden Preschool and Infant Care — "A Caring Community of Lifelong Learners," nurtures comprehensive readiness for success in school and life. In the critical first years, children at The Garden develop increasing competence in all areas — intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and artistic. Opportunities for rich experiences in many art forms encourage creative expression through music, movement, language, and visual arts.

E3 Performing Arts — "A Creative Alternative to Day Care," provides a creative alternative to traditional day care. Students discover and develop their creativity as they engage in a broad spectrum of the arts, academic enrichment, physical activities, and character education in after-school and day camp programs. E3’s classes give students in grades K-6 rich exposure to diverse art forms, including drama, tap dance, ballet, jazz dance, vocal and instrumental music, visual arts, and gymnastics.
