Description: At Abba’s House, we believe children learn best through play and socialization in a positive environment. We encourage children to choose fun activities that engage them in socializing with other children and their teachers, in a loving, Christian environment. Our creative learning atmosphere fosters a sense of security in the children, leading to growth in every area of their lives. Our staff is required to attend professional development trainings on a yearly basis. This broadens their knowledge in current areas of child development, updated state regulations, best practices, and personal improvement. We have a highly dedicated staff, which often go above and beyond their “job responsibilities,” because of their love and commitment to the children and families of Abba’s House Daycare. Abba’s House is committed to developing and maintaining a high quality of communication with our families. We do this in many ways including daily communication forms, verbal communication between staff and parents, and an open door policy. Whether its questions, problems or concerns, parents are encouraged to come to the director. In addition, we encourage parents to participate in a variety of activities/celebrations and social events at Abba’s House. We believe a positive classroom partnership between parents and staff is essential to have a positive daycare experience and to foster peace of mind.
Enrolling for After School Program grades K - 6th. Program includes snack, assisted help with homework, and fun! We also have Summer Camp, June - August, grades K - 6th. Field trips, breakfast, lunch and snack included.
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.
