Why Families Love Bubbles

"Our daughter struggled with separation anxiety and thanks to the Bubbles preschool program, she is now thriving and loving her school. Her teachers' caring and loving approach set her at ease. And their patience and understanding have been amazing and key to her success.We're so happy to have Bubbles as a part of our lives."

Haley E.

"The Bubbles Academy Preschool has been a truly special experience for our son. His little face lights up when he talks about his teachers, his classmates, and the day's activities. The subjects for the units are interesting and unique while still being age appropriate, and the activities for the units are engaging and entertaining for the kids."

More than Just a Playground

More than Just a Playground

Our nature playground is designed to inspire curiosity and creativity through open-ended play. Using natural materials like wood, stones, and greenery, this space helps children connect with the natural world while exploring, climbing, and building.

Research shows that immersive outdoor play fosters intellectual, emotional, and social development, helping children strengthen problem-solving skills, reduce stress, and build confidence.
