Ice Cream & Shoe is a nonsectarian, privately owned corporation. We welcome families from all backgrounds and celebrate all cultural traditions. We help children learn how to be happy in their relationship with one another and their environment, allowing our students to thrive as they enter elementary school. The proof is in the pudding! Our families often stay in touch for many years after graduation, sharing photos and accomplishments of beloved alumni.

Families tell us they are particularly impressed with our peaceful, calm atmosphere, and the happiness of the children. Our five classrooms are brimming with creative energy, and our low student/teacher ratio allows for an intimate setting. Each classroom has its own morning program specifically designed for the age and developmental range of its children. Students engage in a wide variety of activities while teachers provide gentle guidance, strong encouragement and loving support. A strong emphasis is placed on nurturing relationships, conflict resolution and allowing each child to come into his or her unique being with a sense of happiness and acceptance.
