Description: At ALC we use a curriculm that is sent in called highreach. This curriculm explores and teaches children values and educates the children using numbers, colors and shapes to prepare them for their future. ALC curriculm starts the highreach curriculm at the age of one and it continues to the age of five.
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.
