Description: Our Mission:
It is American Child's mission to provide a safe and stimulating learning environment to all children and their families. We are committed to treating all children with respect, while instilling the importance of love and deference to others. We are committed to having an open line of communication with every family to ensure ideal care for their child or children. It is our goal to bestow upon every child the opportunity to reach his or her potential in a nurturing learning environment, staffed by qualified and exceptional teachers.
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.
