Description: Your child will be cared for within an atmosphere of love and acceptance. We strive to help children feel good about themselves and their relationship to other children and adults. Learning is a nurturing experience. Positive, supportive, individualized relationships develop between the children and the teachers on a daily basis. Our emphasis is on the experience each child gains while doing, rather than how expertly it is done.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

My children have been attending Abacus for over 4 years. No child care center is perfect, but I can honestly say that Abacus is a center that strives to provide the best possible care. The center does NOT have a large turnover and many teachers have been there for a long time. Everyone is friendly and they all go above and beyond. My children's needs are met and I know they are well taken care of. They are learning each and every day, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the place I have chosen to leave my children when I unfortunately cannot be with them. I just absolutely love Abacus!
