Description: Welcome to our center. We have been serving the Charlotte and Mecklenburg areas for over 30 years. Our education department has developed a research based curriculum that not only teaches children but allows them to have fun at the same time. We focus on the development of social, emotional, physical, intellectual and creative skills. We look forward to meeting you and having your family join our family.
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.
