Why Families Choose BAE's Ed.

A Program Built Around Your Child,
Not the Other Way Around

At BAE's Education, we believe children learn best when they're trusted to lead. Our teachers act as researchers and guides, not lecturers, observing, documenting, and building each day's learning around your child's real interests and questions. It's called the BAE's Ed. Inquiry Model™, and it's grounded in constructivist and Vygotskian learning theory that's proven to help kids thrive.

Every classroom is thoughtfully designed as a "third teacher", space and materials arranged to spark curiosity.

Every week, you'll see your child's learning made visible through documentation, photos, and their own words. And every step of the way, your family's voice shapes what happens in our classroom.

PROGRAMS SECTION

One Center, Every Stage,
Infant Through Middle School

Infant & Toddler Program (6 weeks – 2 years)

A warm, responsive environment where babies and toddlers grow at their own pace. Every family receives an Individual Needs and Service Plan built around your child's sleep, feeding, and developmental needs, updated as they grow.

Preschool Program (2 – 4 years)

Play-based learning that builds early literacy, math, and social-emotional skills through hands-on exploration, circle time, and outdoor discovery, with growing exposure to our Spanish dual language program.

Transitional Kindergarten (4 – 5 years)

A bridge between preschool and kindergarten that builds school-readiness, letter and word recognition, early math, and the confidence to navigate a classroom independently.

School-Age Program (5 – 13 years, TK–6th Grade)

Before and after-school care, homework club, book club, and subject-specific tutoring, plus transportation to neighboring schools within a 10-mile radius.

Summer & Winter Break Camp

Open all year, every year. Field trips, sports clubs, junior leadership programs, and campus festivals keep kids engaged when school's out.
