Discover the Magical
Roots of Meadowlark

Our learning environment reflects our belief that children are inherently curious, seek relationships with others, and construct their knowledge and understanding of the world through their active engagement with their environment and the people, materials, and experiences within it. Through stimulating situations and hands-on learning opportunities, children are free to develop into bright young minds.
