Our Mission and Values

The mission of Nova is to create a stimulating and nurturing environment where children of all abilities, regardless of socio-economic or cultural background, can grow and learn together in acceptance of one another. This mission is carried out daily by highly trained staff, low teacher/child ratios, specialized curriculum, and contracted therapy services.  


We provide resources for families involved in the family court system and foster care. Our goal is to assist families through the reunification process of the family and dependency court system. Our services include assistance with court ordered services, case management and exceptional childcare. We provide a safe and welcoming place for families to spend court approved time together.
