Branches Community School is a vibrant early learning community for children ages 3 months – 5 years. Inspired by the Reggio-Emilia approach to living and learning, our classrooms foster creativity, exploration, and relationships.

WHY CHOOSE BRANCHES COMMUNITY SCHOOL?

Early childhood education is in crisis. Childcare is difficult to access and too expensive for families, and early childhood teachers can’t afford to stay in the field with such low wages. Without critical investment, our childcare landscape will only get worse. At Branches Community School, we strive to break down these barriers and advocate for high quality childcare that EVERY child deserves. As a progressive early childhood program utilizing sliding scale tuition, we invite participation and celebrate diversity in honoring the rights of children. We hope you will join us in renewing the culture of childhood.
