Keeping Families Connected

Our families mean the world to us and keeping them connected is one of our main goals. That’s why we created SproutAbout®, our exclusive family communications app that features live streaming video of the classroom and much, much more.

Welcome to Our School

Welcome to Young School of King’s Contrivance, located in Columbia! My name is Jess and I have been at our school since 1999! Our school is conveniently located at Rivers Park at King’s Contrivance.

We’re pleased to offer programming for infants through pre-kindergarten at our state-of-the-art school which features five outdoor play areas including a bike path, playing field and multiple playgrounds. We offer flexible full- and part-time schedule options in our programs to meet your family’s needs. Our curriculum is inspired by two internationally acclaimed programs: Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) and the Reggio Emilia approach.

Your child’s health and safety is our top priority. Our dedicated teaching staff completes ongoing professional development and training, including maintaining current Infant/Child First Aid and CPR certifications.

We’re committed to keeping you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. Get access to live streaming video of your child’s classroom, plus other real-time updates, with our exclusive mobile app for families, SproutAbout.

We would love to have your child join us. Schedule a tour today to learn more! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

I started my 21+ year career in early education just after high school because I loved taking courses at and working in the preschool located inside my high school. I have a passion for learning about individual interests and motivations of the children in my school. I have identical twin girls and loved having them attend Young School with me from 12 weeks - 5 years old! In my spare time I love reading and going to the beach.

I have been with The Young School for six years. I came to YS after working in the public school system for about five years, grades K-5. I have an adorable dog named Sebastian whom I love to spend as much time with as possible. I am also very close with my family and love spending time with my niece and nephews. I am so excited to meet you and your family soon!
