Description: Sugar Grove Developmental Day School (SGDDS) is a 5 star daycare provider and the only nonprofit daycare in the High Country. We are licensed for 44 children, who range in age from birth to 5 years old. Our goal at Sugar Grove Developmental Day School is to provide a developmentally appropriate program that meets the individual needs and abilities of the children in our care. We use an integrated approach to curriculum, based on hands-on activities that incorporate each area of development. Children are encouraged to think for themselves, make decisions and learn through play. We embrace a partnership between home, school, and our community.
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.
