Honoring 25 Years of Inspiring Young Minds

This year marks the 25th anniversary of our locally owned, family-operated center! Proudly woman-owned, we’ve spent decades nurturing young minds, building a strong community, and creating a legacy of quality care. As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we’ll continue to inspire and support families every day.

English, Spanish, Mandarin, or French Teach Them Diversity

In today’s world, speaking a second, third, or even fourth language is a tremendous advantage. As your child learns English, Spanish, Mandarin or French, it opens doors to opportunities later in life and is proven to help children focus, plan, and problem-solve better.

A Hands-On Curriculum With Lots of Playtime

Our balanced curriculum blends engaging activities with skill-building exercises to enhance vocabulary, knowledge, and cognitive development. While children have fun, they also expand their understanding of the world, building a solid foundation for future learning.

Over the past three years, students from Crossing Borders have shown significant improvement in Spanish retention, both orally and in reading skills, by the time they enter Mark Twain's dual language program. These children are coming in with advanced language abilities, including basic reading in Spanish, making Crossing Borders an advantageous program for developing language skills.

A Multicultural Environment Represents the World

Your child gains an experiential understanding of other people, their traditions, and their countries. This understanding facilitates language learning, and for many kids, it gives them the desire and confidence to explore other countries and study or work abroad.

Exciting Enrichments Uncover New Talents & Interests

Diverse all-inclusive enrichment activities, including music, art, yoga, language, dance, and STEAM, help your child discover new interests and talents. These engaging, hands-on experiences support creativity, cognitive growth, and social skills, fostering a well-rounded foundation for lifelong learning and development.
