Description: We recognize that all children develop physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially at their own individual pace. Our team of professional staff are trained in "best practices" in early care and education of young children. They will provide an inviting, stimulating "family room" of activities and opportunities to explore the world around them. Learning is an interactive process for young children. Each child's thoughts and experiences have a direct impact on their positive growth and development. Therefore, we offer an environment rich with materials, ideas, and caring supportive adults. Daily experiences will match the child's developing abilities, and challenge the child's interest and understanding. The role of our professional staff is to provide an environment that offers children opportunities to grow and learn more about themselves and the world around them. Staff will partner with parents to offer sensitive and appropriate caregiving in a program designed to support the unique needs of each child.
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 son attended Children on the Green and is now in 1st grade. He is well adjusted and reading on a third grade level - - He loves school and is excelling in every area. I attribute a lot of his success to the early childhood experiences he received at Children on the Green.
I love the lower 3:1 Infant to staff ratio, the very low rate of staff turnover and the quality of care that my daughter receives. It is hard to leave her but knowing she is happy and well cared for makes it a lot easier.
