About Us
Welcome to ACES International Preschool and Childcare Center, where we're redefining early education with a dynamic blend of multiculturalism, global citizenship, art, and nature-inspired learning. Our innovative approach goes beyond traditional boundaries, creating an environment where infants to age 5 can flourish year-round in play-based learning. Children are grouped by age to ensure tailored learning experiences for their developmental stages, nurturing their curiosity and potential. Through immersive language and art experiences, we instill a deep appreciation for diversity and global perspectives, laying the foundation for lifelong learning in a world filled with diversity. Moreover, our Nature's Classroom offers endless opportunities for exploration, as children delve into the wonders of the natural world, fostering a profound connection with their environment. Throughout the day, the children in our program engage in artistic exploration in our art room, where they have access to a variety of art supplies and tools to freely express their creativity.
