The program’s mission statement describes it as an exceptional private home preschool that offers a nurturing and educational program for children aged 16 months to 5 years, with a primary objective of delivering childcare in a safe, healthy, and caring environment that supports social, physical, emotional, and cognitive development.

The program states that it believes every child is a remarkable and distinct individual deserving of an enriching, secure, and dynamic child care experience irrespective of race, gender, ability, economic background, or religion.

The Sandlot describes its environment as nurturing and affectionate for children while parents are at school or work, with an emphasis on creating a warm, safe, and inclusive space where children can explore, discover, and build lasting friendships. The program states that it is committed to promoting social, emotional, and cognitive development through age-appropriate activities and play, and that it focuses on helping children build real friendships through kindness, inclusion, and play. It also states that it focuses on building confidence, not just skills, and on celebrating effort over perfection, and that learning is extended beyond four walls into the real world.

The Sandlot emphasizes a strong partnership between parents, caregivers, and educators, with regular communication, open-door policies, and community events as part of building a supportive and collaborative childcare community. One parent testimonial from Yogi Muller credits The Sandlot with their child’s advanced reading skills, kindness toward others, leadership qualities, and willingness to help, based on feedback from the child’s kindergarten teacher. Another parent describes The Sandlot Preschool as a great choice for a first school experience, noting that Ms. Lori and her staff worked with their child on worries about separating from a parent, and that by the end of the third month the child had blossomed socially, emotionally, and academically, could recognize and spell their name, knew shapes, numbers, colors, and Zoophonics, and benefited from weekly themes, fun activities, and classroom activities that extend to the home so families can be part of the child’s learning experience.
