Real Choices, Real Growth: A Look Inside Our Toddler Room
In our Toddler Room, your child gets real choices every day. A blue cup or a green one. A seat by the window or a seat with a teacher. A paintbrush or just their hands. These small moments build big confidence. Our teachers stay close, offering connection and gentle guidance while your toddler explores, tests, and discovers at their own pace.
Our Mission
To support a love for learning by encouraging creative expression and fostering positive relationships
Responsive Relationships
Building positive relationships with children, families, colleagues, and community sets a firm foundation for a positive learning environment. Rise Above strongly values relationships and strives to work alongside you for the best interest of the children.

Rise Above provides a rich learning environment that is inviting and full of experiences. The environment is where children, educators, and families can come together and share ideas, explore, and foster limitless possibilities.
Educator Role
Create a warm and safe learning environment, that is welcoming to all. Our educators are not just considered instructors, but more so as a co-learner and collaborator with the child and families.

Expanding Children's Imagination and Learning Through Open-Ended Play

Testimonials
What Our Parents are Saying
I have been amazed with the Rise Above team. The owners, Holly and Charles, genuinely care about creating a positive learning experience for the kids. The classrooms are filled with colorful art and educational materials, they employ teachers who create a solid learning curriculum, and they create a community feel with various spirit days and family activities. My kids love going to Rise Above every day because they make learning fun!
– Megan Goggin
We are so thankful for Rise Above. They go above and beyond to meet our family’s needs. We have 2 children in the elementary age classroom and 2 children in the Pre-K classroom. They enjoy the classroom setting and all the friends they have made. During the summer, they participated in summer camp and were always excited for each trip that was planned. Holly is easy to communicate with and flexible with the kids’ schedules. Any question that I had she addressed quickly. So thankful for this center!
– Norma Gatica
Rise Above has truly been a remarkable experience for our family. From the moment we joined, the staff’s warmth and kindness made it feel like an extension of our own home. Their genuine care and attention to each child stand out every day. The classroom sizes are perfectly managed, ensuring that each child receives the attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. I was tossing around the idea between in home and a facility and I can tell you we get the best of both worlds here for our 2 year old. They have created a nurturing and welcoming environment that we feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of. Your child would be lucky to be part of this growing family away from your family.
