Description: We envision an environment which provides academic, social, and personal skills children need to become confident and responsible citizens. We believe learning should be based on individualized, relevant activities and frequent achievement. We promote high student expectations with consideration and respect for all individuals; thereby, developing life-long learners and productive members of society.
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.
