At Cassidy, we don’t rush childhood. We honor children by giving them the time and space they need to develop at their own pace, in their own unique way.

Our approach is thoughtful and balanced. It is also developmentally appropriate and based on best practices in our field. We are inspired by a variety of philosophies and approaches, which we blend together into a program that reflects our commitment to helping children lay the best possible social, emotional, physical and cognitive foundations.

We nurture and challenge, support and encourage, listen and engage. We care about what children think, how they feel, and what they have to say about their world. We are dedicated to providing children with a rich and stimulating environment that supports their growth in every way. Put simply, we are passionate about 0-6.  It’s what we do; it is who we are.

Cassidy staff is the heart of our school.  Faculty members are committed to their individual and collective professional growth, and to collaborating with each other in order to deliver a seamless and integrated program that reaches from classroom to classroom and includes our outdoor learning spaces.

Parent/Child weekly groups are designed to offer support to parents and social experiences for their young children. Parents and children connect, play, and sing together with the guidance and help of their experienced group leader. Each session includes a parenting topic for discussion, time to share parenting successes as well as challenges, and an opportunity to ask questions.

Specialty classes include Parent/Caregiver, Child Art, and Music. Classes meet weekly in 10-12 week sessions.
