Summit Start
A great place to start.
Your Child is in Great Hands
This high-pressure world full of expectations has created a trend of right-brain, left-brain and academic preparatory for our wee ones.
At Summit, we know that the first 5 years of a child’s life is when they need to trust their environment and the people within it. We provide a place where they can explore and stretch into their true selves on their own terms. No pressure. No expectations.
Want to Visit Us?
Picking your child care is no joke – it’s a big decision. We’re here to help you through the process. First, we believe in doing business eyeball-to-eyeball, so we want you to come in for a tour. We’ll show you around, talk about your expectations and ensure that we are the best fit for your family. Then we’ll send you a link to register as a new Summit member.

Meet Summit StartÂ
We believe that all children need to be given the opportunity to discover and lean into their brilliance. We also believe that brilliance doesn’t happen in a standardized environment. In a world that is deficit-focus – we believe that brilliance looks different, acts different and sounds different. And although these are typically traits that are frowned upon in a standard educational system, we believe that when nourished, these traits can change the world.
Health & Safety
We know you’re worried about keeping your child stays safe and healthy. We got you.
Our team is not only keeping up with the current health guidelines but we’re exceeding them. Here’s just a few things we’re doing: Â
- DAILY health assessments for ALL staff prior to entering the building
- FREQUENT hand-washing and hand sanitizer
- HOUSEKEEPINGÂ staff roam the building to ensure all high-touch surfaces are cleaned often
- REGULARÂ cleaning of the playground structure
- nightly SANITIZING of toys, games, chairs, tables and sports equipment
Philosophy
We believe in the brilliant child. And all children ARE brilliant.
We believe that all children need to be given the opportunity to discover and lean into their brilliance. We also believe that brilliance doesn’t happen in a standardized environment. In a world that is deficit-focus – we believe that brilliance looks different, acts different and sounds different. And although these are typically traits that are frowned upon in a standard educational system, we believe that when nourished, these traits can change the world.
Our mission at Summit Kids is to make a better world, one child at a time.

Programs – Fun & Creativity
Children are the architects of their learning. When, and only when, they are ready children will grow through independent exploration, structured activities and hands-on learning. Children develop a variety of skills and knowledge in area like early literacy, mathematics, science and social skills.Â
We offer an enriching environment that will stimulate growth and enrichment in these six domains – cognitive development, executive function, creative expression, language & literacy, physical and wellness, social & emotional
- Cognitive Function
- Creative Expression
- Social & Emotional
- Language & Literacy
- Executive Function
- Physical Wellness
Libby Room
The Libby room is where it all begins. Your sweet ones will start here when they’re 12 months old.
Our caring team provides a soft, loving environment with sensory exploration and play.
Griffin Room
When your child is 19+ months old they will transition from the Libby to the Griffin room.Â
This is where we alternate between parallel and group play.
Parker Room
P – is for Parker and Preschool, also known as Summit Steps. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, kiddos will develop a variety of skills and knowledge.
Alex Room
Alex Room is all things SUMMIT LAUNCH. We provide a Kindergarten extended-day program in alignment with select schools.
And for those who want a lower ratio – we provide a full-day Kindergarten experience with all of the support of a daycare environment.
