With a dedicated, long-tenured teaching staff and a strong sense of community, Lone Mountain is a place where childhood is honored, families are valued, and the joy of learning is celebrated. Whether your child joins us for one year or all three, our program provides exceptional preparation for kindergarten and beyond.
