Our Vision
Cornerstone’s Vision is to establish a partnership with parents to provide children with a solid foundation of life skills, to inspire a thirst for knowledge, instill self confidence, be aware of and navigate emotions, and to be competent communicators, learners and problem solvers.
Our Environment is designed to be an emotionally and physically safe zone in which children are empowered to take risks as they discover and build their developmental competencies.
Our Early Childhood Educators are passionate, valued, and respected. Our goal is to connect to and nurture the development of the whole child.
