Description: At Startown School, we believe Startown School is a safe and nurturing place where everyone will learn, grow and be responsible citizens. We respect each other's differences and help each other reach for success.
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.
