Dr. Michelle Peterson

Little routines. Familiar faces.

Stories, building, art, and time to play together give your child ways to connect in a new community. Small classes help our team get to know them.

Founded and led by Dr. Michelle Peterson, Ed.D., Spark brings her doctoral research in early childhood education into your child's everyday learning.

Not sure which program fits? Let's talk.

One less unknown before the move.

You don't need a settled moving date to ask a question.

  1. Tell us your plans.

    Share your child's age, the month you hope to start, and the program you're considering. It's fine if you're still deciding.

  2. Talk through the options.

    We'll discuss program fit, current openings, and next steps. If you're visiting Morton, you can also request a classroom tour.

  3. Prepare for their first day.

    Once a place and start date are confirmed, we'll guide you through the enrollment paperwork and what your child needs to begin.

Let's make room for your questions.

Tell us about your move and the preschool morning you have in mind. We'll help you explore what's possible for your child.

An inquiry starts a conversation; it doesn't reserve a place.

Include your child's age, preferred start month, and program of interest. Still unsure? Tell us what you're considering.

Your information is private. We'll only use it to answer your question.
