Meet our preschool director
Led by Rebecca Lawrence.
Rebecca Lawrence is the Preschool Director and Program Developer. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science, with additional training in communication, social behavior, and human motor development.
As a mother of two, a former competitive gymnast, and a karate student currently testing for her black belt, Rebecca brings a rare movement background to early childhood learning.
Social-emotional growth
Listening, turn-taking, self-regulation, and confidence are practiced in a positive setting.
Daily movement
Beginner karate skills and age-appropriate gymnastics build coordination and body awareness.
Whole-child support
Every child is encouraged, challenged, supported, and celebrated for who they are.
Movement matters
More than preparation for kindergarten.
Each day includes movement experiences designed to build coordination, listening, direction-following, self-control, confidence, and respect for self and others.
