SolBe has two interconnected schools: the Nursery School and the Canopy School.
To continually create the highest-quality early learning experience for your family, SolBe invested eight years of learning and thoughtfully experimenting to provide our students with a two-school model.
Age-specific Campuses
SolBe Nursery School and SolBe Canopy School are a 2-minute drive from each other. We are intentionally close so both programs benefit from the same nutrition program, parent community, and educator team.
SolBe Nursery School: 8 weeks - 24 months
Establishes character foundations for social-emotional learning, first friendships, and resilience.
SolBe Canopy School: 2 - 6 years
Builds on character foundations from the Nursery School, weaving in increased complexity, collaboration, and school-age readiness.
Our brains reach 90% of their adult size by the age of five--that is an EXCEPTIONAL amount of growth. In the first 24 months, brains and bodies are learning how to receive information. In the next 36 months, they are practicing how to express it.
Over the past eight years we've thoughtfully tested and experimented better ways to nurture growth at each specific stage. Through all of this learning, we discovered the best way to augment and encourage development was to create two different campuses: a nursery and preschool.
Each location is purposefully architected to ehance development under five.
Our Nursery program has shorter spaces, materials, furniture, and windows. We use muted colors for eye develop. Each texture, sounds, taste, color, structure is purposefully chosen for our youngest minds and bodies.
Our Canopy School uses similar yet different textures and materials for more complex character development. Our space and design is built for burst of energy, agility, collaboration, dynamic exploration, and quieter focused time. The spaces builds on the intentionality of the Nursery School, but is built for more complex minds and bigger bodies.

Life moves faster and is more chaotic than ever before. Current child care centers and nursery schools leave us torn between what we think is best for our child and what we know we need for ourselves.
Your wellness and the wellness of your child shouldn’t be a question of either/or. SolBe is an early learning center committed to yes/and. Yes to providing the best education experience for your child and to supporting you in living your life to the fullest.
Unlike other programs, we don't have to compromise. We don't have to sacrific needing items, spaces, and designs to fit two very different needs. Your students get the best possible program to establish your child's very first character traits then further develop them through layered comlexity.
Our spaces are one way we help our students become conscious, competent, caring, and collaborative individuals.
Curious to learn more about how we weave the space into our curriculum?
—under one learning ecosystem, united in approach and educational philosophy.
Most schools must compromise aspects of their environment to accommodate all age groups in one space. What's more, the team's attention at those schools is necessarily spread across more developmental stages.
Instead, SolBe offers two purpose-built, interconnected schools each with an entire team dedicated to their specialty: one focused on the nurturing the earliest foundations and one focused on building upon those foundations, preparing children for all that comes next.
SolBe Nursery School establishes character foundations for social-emotional learning, first friendships, and resilience.
SolBe Canopy School builds on character foundations from the Nursery School, weaving in increased complexity, collaboration, and school-age readiness.
SolBe’s education philosophy unites the two schools, so your child’s educational journey is seamless and intentional.
Why don’t more schools do something similar?
And how are we able to make all of this possible?
We are better together. Our two-campus model is only possible through our relationship with CHR. In turn, as our program [improves], CHR's benefits become more impactful to it's community.

The team at SolBe is exceptional. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate our scheduling needs, which has been incredibly helpful for our family. The flexibility and understanding they've shown have made a significant difference in managing our busy lives. The educators are not only professional but also warm and caring, creating a friendly learning atmosphere that our daughters love.
In this supportive environment, my son has truly flourished. I’ve witnessed significant growth in his communication and social skills. He eagerly looks forward to going to SolBe each day, often asking to return even on weekends. It’s heartwarming to see him engage enthusiastically in activities and develop friendships.
SolBe is exceptional. SolBe has always been our one constant, despite the times of uncertainty and chaos that we've navigated over the past few years.
We’re nurturing a world of flourishing children and thriving families.
We treat parents as partners. We communicate. We create community. Join us.
Great, we grew up here! We're happy to share the skinny on where to live, the best restaurants, and the parent groups so you can find other parents like yourself!
