What We Do

Big Lessons in Small Moments

Our teachers turn everyday play into real learning, in a school where your child is known by name and you're part of the day. From the first drop-off to the last goodbye, we pay attention to the small moments that help children feel secure: a familiar face at the door, a teacher who remembers their favorite book, and a routine they can count on.

A Typical Day

What a Day in Our Care Looks Like

Mornings start with a hello at the door and breakfast while friends arrive. From there, the day moves through circle time, learning centers, outdoor play, lunch, rest, and afternoon activities, with a rhythm that stays steady so children know what comes next. Your child's teacher will tell you how it went, and the Engage app shows you along the way.

Philosophy

The Early Years Shape Everything

The early years are a once-in-a-lifetime window, when brains, hearts, and habits all take shape. Our schools are built around that opportunity: safe classrooms, caring teachers, and play-based learning that helps children grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Why Our Families Trust Us

Emily Kroncke
Riverstones Academy - Morningside
"We live very close to the school and we’re thrilled to be able to start exactly when we were hoping to! Our son is 3 and is thriving at Riverstones. I love seeing the lessons and learning opportunities! Ms. Amber and Ms Tasha have both been so wonderful in helping our son transition to new classrooms and new teachers. They have both been with the school since our son started and we just love them!" Our daughter absolutely loves her teachers (shoutout to Ms. Hope!), and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing how loved and well taken care of she is throughout the day. Receiving updates and pictures throughout the day truly makes our day and gives us so much reassurance knowing she’s happy, learning, and having fun while we’re away from her. They do such a great job incorporating learning, outdoor play, and fun into her days, and they even provide lunch and snacks. As busy parents, it’s so nice not having to worry about packing a million things for school every morning because they truly do it all! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and are so thankful to be part of the Lakestones community."

"I choose this school specifically for Mrs Yvette, when you do the walk through she just seem so familiar and comfortable. I felt it I get this feeling from her my daughter lyrica will as well and I was right she was this best teacher loving caring and knowledgeable. My daughter was 2 when she started and now is 7 in the 2nd grade and still ask about her say she miss her. I don’t know if Mrs Yvette is still there but I will always recommend this daycare to anybody I know if she’s still there."

"I did not grow up going to daycare so I was very nervous about it. However, Amber and the Riverstones team have made the experience nothing but positive for our son. I trust them completely. I know that he is safe and well loved!"
