About Us

Welcome to Vivero a purpose-driven preschool and daycare where early learning comes alive.

Here, curiosity is nurtured, voices are valued, and childhood is celebrated. Inspired by our name Vivero, meaning “a place where life is nurtured” we create thoughtfully designed environments that support each child’s unique potential.
