Give Your Child a Stronger Start - In the Classroom and at Home
High-quality early education for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old in a safe, inspiring place where children learn, grow, and thrive.
At Palma Sola, everything begins with the family.
We provide a warm, engaging early learning experience where children are encouraged to explore, build confidence, and develop the skills they need for kindergarten and beyond.
We also believe parents should feel informed, supported, and included throughout their child’s early years.
What Makes
Palma Sola Different?
At Palma Sola, parents are more than spectators in their child’s education. They are valued partners.
Families can expect open communication, practical resources, and a team that understands the importance of creating a strong connection between home and school.
Our approach is built around three important areas:
A Meaningful Curriculum: Children participate in hands-on learning experiences that promote curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, STEM discovery, and kindergarten readiness.
Caring, Supportive Educators: Our teachers focus on building trusted relationships with children while providing the guidance and individualized attention each child needs.
An Engaging Learning Environment
Our indoor and outdoor spaces give children opportunities to learn, play, move, create, collaborate, and explore throughout the day.
Our Whole-Family Philosophy
Exceptional early education doesn't stop at the classroom door.
While children benefit from enriching experiences at school, families also receive practical information, resources, and guidance to help them support their child’s development at home.

Leadership Shaped by Personal Experience
Palma Sola is led by Executive Director Jason Bern, an experienced education entrepreneur who previously founded Preschool From Home, a virtual early learning platform that served more than 500 children with a team of over 30 educators.
Jason’s passion for early childhood education is also deeply personal. As a young child, he experienced a significant speech impediment and was unable to communicate in full sentences until he was six years old.
With the right care, encouragement, and educational support, he was able to build his confidence and thrive. That experience shaped his understanding of how important the early years can be - and how much of a difference the right support can make in a child’s life.
After also working alongside leadership from one of the nation’s largest childcare organizations, Jason came away with one core belief: Children thrive when families are actively supported, not only when classrooms are excellent.
That philosophy is helping shape the future of Palma Sola.
A Supportive Environment for Children, and Parents
Every interaction at Palma Sola reflects our commitment to genuine care, accountability, and high-quality early education.
Children receive individualized support within a warm and engaging environment where curiosity and confidence can grow.
Parents receive open communication, helpful guidance, and a trusted early education team that is committed to supporting their family.
Together, we are creating a place where children—and the people raising them—can thrive.
