Discover Wayfinder Preschool

Play. Grow. Thrive. Together.

A welcoming, therapy-informed preschool where children ages 3–5 can play, grow, thrive, and belong.

Why families choose Wayfinder

One place. One team. Every child.

Families are looking for more than a preschool. They are looking for a place where their child feels safe, known, supported, and encouraged every day. At Wayfinder, learning is joyful, relationships matter, and support is thoughtfully built into each child’s day.

Whether a child is typically developing, receives therapy, or benefits from additional support, Wayfinder provides an inclusive place to learn and belong.

What makes Wayfinder different

Built by developmental specialists. Designed for every child.

Wayfinder is a therapy-informed preschool where the knowledge of developmental specialists, the passion of educators, and the partnership of families come together to support every child.

  • Therapy-Informed Preschool

    Early learning designed with therapists at the table, so support is built into the day rather than pulled out of it.

  • Developmental Specialists

    Speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, BCBAs, and RBTs shape our classroom practices. Physical therapy is planned for a future phase.

  • One-Team Approach

    Teachers, specialists, and families share one plan, one language, and one set of goals for each child.

  • Inclusive Environment

    Children of every ability learn side by side, with routines and spaces designed for all kinds of learners.

  • Creative Curriculum® and Learning Without Tears®

    Two research-based programs that pair joyful exploration with strong pre-writing and readiness skills.

  • Play-Based Learning

    Play is how young children think, practice, and connect — so it anchors every part of our day.
